Review

This is a Curious George story that teaches about rainbows, Throughout the book are photos with "Did you know"...."a "prism" is an object that reflects and refracts light? Raindrops are prisms and so are diamonds and crystals. Light bounces off of their surfaces and separates to creat rainbows."." Also, there are some experiments with "Test it out" you can measure rainfall, tell how far away thunder is, and make a rainbow. There is a glossary and websites for games, activities, party kits, and more. This book is good for different grade levels due to the story material, facts, and experiments.

Overall Book Score: good
