Anita Barnes Lowen - Children's Literature
Take a field trip without leaving home or the classroom. This book tells (and shows) children what they might see at a science center or science museum, lets them know what is okay to do and what is not (most science centers allow visitors to touch and play with some objects) and answers lots of questions. Two-page spreads briefly describe an exhibit likely to be found in a science center—dinosaurs, of course, as well as sports science, the human body and outer space. Every page is illustrated with large, colorful drawings. A fossil dig activity, a list of fun facts, a short glossary, an index and a list of websites are at the end of the book. A fun book to share with young children before a visit to a science center or museum. 2004, Picture Window Books, Ages 4 to 8.
