And there's not enough plain old books featuring science out there! Michele Torrey's Doyle and Fossey books are great mysteries for kids who like facts and realistic fiction (okay, maybe not so realistic). The books are made up of short stories where mysteries are solved using scientific process. In the back are experiments and more explanation about the information we've just learned. They are good for ages 8 and up, funny, and perfect for kids who like straight forward stories.
Science, mystery, and a good read for early elementary readers. Nice twist on a genre of books that too many children are not familiar with. Review blogged here --> http://bit.ly/tllyRr
A book for the realist in all of us: unusual things explained through scientific means.
