Super, genau wie alle anderen Taschenlampenbücher auch.

This book from the series First Discovery Books is one of the best. It uses a simple cardboard flashlight (that is a flashlight-shaped piece of sturdy paper with a white circle on the end to represent the "light") to reveal the secrets of underground dens and lairs. Each clear plastic page is illustrated with an image of an underground nest--such as a mole's home--and is placed in front of a black page. You can see vague outlines of things, but nothing clearly. That is until you put the"flashlight" between the clear plastic page and the black page and against the white circle the creatures become visible! It is so simple, but so, so effective. It is really magical. A child could easily spend hours scrutinizing each habitat. Wonderful little book.

This book explains different systems of the human body. Almost every page has a transparent flap that layers over the other illustrations and shows the different system being explained, which is really unique. Each concept is explained fairly well, especially heredity. There was a weird section about dreams that didn't really seem to fit in with the rest of the book, but it was still interesting. The book ends with a message about how everyone is different on the outside, but we're all the same on the inside. I thought it was a pretty unique book with fun way of presenting information.

"Houses" is a book all about the different types of houses you'll see around the world. It starts off with showing homes that are typical for most people in America- single family homes and apartment buildings. The way these types of homes are built is explained, with the types of materials that are used and who builds the houses being mentioned as well. The book then begins talking about homes that the young reader may not be aware of. Igloos are shown, though are explained to be temporary shelters made while the Inuit are out hunting. The process of making an igloo is shown, as well as the actual homes that the Inuit live in. Homes from hot countries are shown on the next page, where the typical building materials of "hot climate" homes are included, as well as examples of homes from Cameroon, Mali, Nigeria, Egypt, and New Mexico. More temporary homes are shown, with Native American tepees, Tuareg tents, summer Siberian tents, and Mongolian felt tents being featured. Raised homes and homes that are used by multiple families are also included. The last few pages feature houses that can travel with the people living in them: mobile homes, trailers, caravans, tents, house boats, submarines, and even the space stations that astronauts live in. The last page tells the reader that they too can make a house, whether it's made out of pillows, blankets, or even a cardboard box. Although this book is really simple, I really learned a lot! I like that the book breaks the common stereotypes that igloos and tepees are permanent homes, and I also like that so many homes from around the world are shown as well. This book would be great for an introduction on homes seen in different cultures.

A book with translucent pages that tells about different people around the world and their cultures based on country.

I liked this book for multiple reasons. The language is written at primary school age level. The vocabulary is easily defined at a level appropriate for children. The illustrations in the book are unusually interesting. There are multiple pages in the book that are a clear plastic feel. on these pages it gives a child a different tactile feature in the book, while giving them an inside look at the whale whether it is of a mom whale pregnant or how a whale digests its food. The book is written in a 3rd person non fiction format that pushes readers to understand basic facts about whales. This book would be a great introductory text on whales or just underwater creatures in general. The main idea of the book is for children to have a greater understanding of different kinds of whales.

This is a cute children's book designed to bring the inner geek out of your child. Nothing in it is very technical. But what is unique about it and what I did like is that it went into concepts like Genetics. Without making it into a genetics college course, it explains the 100,000 foot overview of why we all look different. It is basic concepts like these that make the book interesting.

Of course it is a picture book. And one of the aspects of it that will keep a child interested is that it has see-through pages that super impose themselves on the adjoining pages on both sides so that the child can look at Bone structure for example. There is one page where it mentions that the way a doctor looks at your insides is through x-rays. Of course there is a super imposed page like the one you see on the cover of this book where it shows the bones of the child being x-rayed. It's neat stuff like that, that makes this book interesting to look at. A child with a science minded bent in their thinking would find this fascinating.

My only complaint (if you can call it that) is that the book is too short. Making it a few pages longer would be a better read for the child methinks.

4 1/2 years - O enjoyed the transparent pages and learning about the parts of the flower, and different kinds of seeds/fruit.
