Can You Hear a Shout in Space? Gr. 3-6. This slim book packs a great deal of information into its question-and-answer format. The questions, grouped according to subject, ask what kids want to know, both for personal interest and for reports--for example, Do any deep-sea fish make their own light? The text also answers questions about the movement of water, animal and plant life, tides, coral reefs, and more. Handsomely illustrated with paintings, it's ideal for browsing and for gleaning general information. Helen Rosenberg
