Light: Shadows, Mirrors, and Rainbows

Children's Literature

Can you name three things that naturally make light? One of the fun facts in this book will describe these things. The simple text with colorful graphics describes the importance of light in our everyday day. Light lets you see things, and it creates shadows and rainbows. The book is full of explanations for simple events that happen with light. It also includes fun experiments with light, such as making shadow creatures with a flashlight, looking at a reflection in objects other than a mirror, making a rainbow with a mirror and water, and playing a great game called "Shadow Tag." The end of the book contains "enlightening" facts about light. The book is complete with a glossary, a table of contents, an index, and various web sites for finding more information about light. 2003, Picture Window Books,
