From School Library Journal
Grade 2-6 Rocks, snowflakes, stars, and a dinosaur bone are some of the subjects that come under the observant eye of poets such as Valerie Worth, Lilian Moore, Carl Sandburg, David McCord, and Alice Schertle. Hopkins's selection of 15 poems clearly offers an invitation to ponder what science is and what scientists do. Halstead's paintings offer fresh, original, and decidedly quirky visual interpretations of the poems. Rendered in "oil pastels, oil bars, wax, and Prisma color pencils," they feature a variety of textures and have a multilayered appearance. Presented on large double-page spreads and filled with bold forms and colors, the illustrations are riveting, even from a distance. A delightful, thought-provoking anthology that is in short spectacular. Carolyn Angus, The Claremont Graduate School, CA
