Professional Recommendation/Review #1: Children's Literature - Heather Christensen
Beginning readers can learn how to undertake a simple science experiment in this book in the "Hands-On Science Fun" series from Capstone Press. Each page has just two or three sentences written in a large plain font surrounded by lots of white space. Color photographs help beginning readers understand the accompanying text. The science experiment—dissolving the shell of an egg in vinegar—is both interesting and simple enough for a young student to do with minimal adult assistance. Only a few materials are needed, and these are listed and illustrated with a small color photograph. The book gives instructions for performing the experiment, and then explains how it works. A short glossary defines more difficult words, and a short bibliography lists a few books that offer more science experiments. Instead of listing websites, the bibliography sends students to Capstone's website for links to Internet sites and other activities, projects, and games. This is a great book for teachers and parents looking for ways to marry science projects and activities with new readers. Reviewer: Heather Christensen
Professional Recommendation/Review #2: N/A
Response to Professional Review: According to the review, this how to book is a great hands on book. The photographs help enhance children’s understanding of what is going on. Heather seems to enjoy the book and thinks it is great for teachers who are looking for ways to make science more fun in the classroom.
Evaluation of Literary Elements: The theme of this book is creating a bouncing egg. The pictures in this book help children to see what they should be doing and the steps in which they do so. I think it really helps children to see a visual image of the process.
Consideration of Instructional Application: After reading this how to book we can try making our own bouncing egg. It’ll teach the kids that in order to create something, we have to follow directions and instructions. It could be a fun, interactive activity and children will have a chance to experiment with science.

Not the greatest kiddy experiment I have ever come across. And not very informative either.
