Reviews
The pages are gaudy and the cartoonish illustrations are graceless, but?as this book about mirrors makes clear?looks can be deceiving. Facts and information about mirrors gain impact through simple experiments easily performed with several reflective surfaces provided here, among them a three-paneled mirror, a flexible mirror (roll it into a tube to view two anamorphic images) and a sturdy mirrored card that, placed along dotted lines, transforms some pictures. Specific topics include holograms and horizontal vs. vertical symmetry; less enlightening spreads invite readers to contemplate shattered mirrors and the bad luck they bring. Organized with each spread named like a carnival attraction ("Gallery of Giggles," "Hokey Focus"), the conceit is a clever one and should keep kids entertained?it's just too bad the art is so amateurish. Ages 4-up.
