I think the illustrations add a bit of humor (did you see the trailer for this book?), but I understand what you are saying about how it detracts from the science.<br /><br />If you do a lot of floating and sinking programs, you might also want to check out Captain Kidd’s Crew Experiments with Sinking and Floating by Mark Weakland and illustrated by Troy Cummings.<br /><br />For both, I think the cartoons might draw in readers who prefer fiction?<br /><br /> Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233692973266165759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915041119468051754.post-56589520444315455972013-12-02T13:09:35.487-06:002013-12-02T13:09:35.487-06:00This should be a fun read for the K and 1st grade ...This should be a fun read for the K and 1st grade classrooms.
