Review

A well-written, on-point informational text about the different forms and uses of energy. Aimed at 4-6th grade readers, the book has a clean design with just one image per page and clearly written text. Short chapters offer definitions of energy and highlight pioneers in the field of energy science. There are tie-ins to the energy used in people's everyday lives and at the end of the book, an experiment so that readers can see energy in action. Also includes a glossary, bibliograpy, and index. A solid addition to the numbered section of any elementary/middle school library and one that might also catch the eye of burgeoning scientists in a public library collection. Part of a six-book series.

Overall Book Score: very good
