Reviews

I read this to see if it might be a good resource for our curriculum work. I have mixed feelings about it. I feel that it glosses over a few things and could lead to alternative conceptions - for example, carnivores are always big animals (and vice versa). And in the early sections, it seemed to be saying that a consumer gets all the energy from what it eats, thus glossing over energy pyramids. But it does have an entire section on energy pyramids, with a reasonable analogy, so maybe that won't be problematic. Overall assessment? It might be okay as one of many resources in a classroom, especially since Max Axiom is an African-American scientist, but it shouldn't be the primary resource for this topic.

در این کتاب و دیگر کتاب های این مجموعه، در قالبی مثل کتاب های کمیک و همراه یک کاراکتر به نام مکس آکسیوم، موضوع های مرتبط با محیط زیست مثل گرمایش زمین، زنجیره غذایی و... با زبانی ساده توضیح داده می شود و به نظرم فرمت جالبی برای جذب بچه ها و آشنا کردنشان با این مفهوم هاست

Another easy to follow science book in graphic novel format from the creators of Max Axiom. Love these books! The entire series is a must have for any school library.
