My son loves science! So every time we go to the library we need to pick up a handful of science related books.

In this book we learned what the definition of science was, the types of sciences and scientists, how science works, and some great inventions.

A wonderful starter science book with fun facts and beautiful pictures.

This book is one of the BEST I have seen! It is awesome how it is laid out!!! It is like a vision sensation! There is so much to look at and read! I am sure that you could read this over and over and over and learn something new. Here is a fun tidbit: An Ecologist observes how all the different parts of an ecosystem work together. Learn about this and so many more awesome and interesting facts in this book! It is jam packed with things that I find fun, interesting and oh so interesting! My kids are going to love this book so much too. An amazing tool we will use this summer!!
