PreS-Gr 2—Simple machines, colors, or states of matter are fun to learn about with Big Bird and Grover. Photos show a diverse range of children and adults exploring light and shadows or moving things with pushes or pulls. Cookie Monster might pop up to mention his favorite color or the Count might ask how many shadows a reader can create. The Sink and Float title invites readers to make predictions about various objects, then explains the results. Each book ends with "Science All Around," which encourages youngsters to apply what they have learned, such as identifying the simple machine in a skateboard or slide. Back matter includes a glossary and further books to read. Young readers will love these titles that introduce basic science concepts and feature favorite Sesame Street characters in every spread. VERDICT A colorful and fun introduction to science basics for primary classrooms.
