Synopsis
General science never stops! You have to learn earth science, space science, life science, chemistry, and physics - and that's way too much! But before you administer hot compresses to the head and herbal tea for settling the nerves, try Science, Fresh Squeezed!
As American History, Fresh Squeezed!, the first in the BrainJuice series, did for our country's past, Science, Fresh Squeezed! offers everything you need to know and understand about the entire body of scientific knowledge. Extracted from unreadable tomes, reduced to its essence, served up in hilarious poetry by Carol Diggory Shields, and garnished with off-the-wall drawings by Richard Thompson, these 41 poems will make another science class completely unnecessary. No guarantees on grades, though!

About the Author

Richard Thompson is a political cartoonist whose work appears regularly in the Washington Post and US News & World Report. This is the first book he has illustrated for children. He lives in Arlington, Virginia with his wife, Amy, and their two young boys.
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7--Following up on American History, Fresh Squeezed (Handprint, 2002), Shields continues her humorous looks at school subjects. This collection of 41 poems is divided into four sections: "Earth and Space Sciences," "Life Sciences," "Chemistry," and "Physics." All of the selections are brief; some are quite clever and others are forced. Some children might find the new words to "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider and the Water Cycle" easy to remember and therefore a help with learning about this process. The same is true of "Inside of Old Smokey," which describes the ins and outs of volcanoes. Related tidbits and facts highlighted by green borders run across the tops of most pages. For example, a poem about the levels of the atmosphere is supplemented by a mnemonic device to help youngsters remember what they are called: "Trolls Seldom Take Exams" (Troposphere, Stratosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere). Small, vigorous pen-and-ink cartoons appear throughout the book. The factual content is accurate, and the witty poetry just might draw science-phobic children into learning about these topics.--Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH
