From School Library Journal

Gr 3–6—In the tradition of Encyclopedia Brown and "Solve Them Yourself" mysteries comes this STEM-friendly book filled with very short science-based mysteries. Each of the stories presents a "how" or "why" question that can be resolved through the application of scientific principles. The short, breezy, and fun entries range in topic from the colors of the rainbow to how to tell if eggs are fresh or hard-boiled. The authors give each tale a familiar and realistic setting—home, school—so that young readers will have an easier time grasping the concepts, which include general, physical, life, and earth science, with a bonus section on math. Each tale is presented in English, with the Spanish translation on the opposite page. At the bottom of each page is a reminder to think/piensa before turning the page to read the solution. The bilingual solutions are also on facing pages. Photos are sprinkled throughout, and a bilingual glossary is also included. VERDICT In a STEM-conscious curriculum environment, this book is a boon for teachers, who can use it to create interest in the subject matter.—Tim Wadham, Children's Literature Consultant, WA
