From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6-- Three colorful introductions to the way things work. Ardley explains that the essence of Electricity is the electron. Types of electricity, how and when they are produced, and their practical applications are all described. The author begins his discussion of Light with the human eye and how it functions. He then outlines many other objects that employ light, such as cameras, telescopes, lasers, eyeglasses, photocopiers, etc. Sauvain delineates the process of Water purification and sewage treatment. An array of items from household appliances to submarines and the human body are all touched upon here. Because these books are collections of topical information, students can use the indexes to locate specific items of interest or read them through cover to cover. All three titles feature many brightly colored, labeled drawings and photographs and information boxes that further amplify the texts. --Zenata W. Pierre, Portland Public Schools, OR
