Reviews
Grade 3-6-Since little is more interesting to kids than themselves, this book should prove to be quite popular. Although the text does contain scientific information about DNA and fingerprints, most of the information is in the realm of pop-psychology and magazine-type quizzes. It explains body language, why people act as they do, and what one can learn from reading palms. It is a fun read, filled with color photos of Old Navy-dressed kids, illustrations of star charts and numerology, and lots of activities that will allow young readers to analyze their handwriting, find out which side of their brain is dominant, and more.
