Editorial Reviews

NSTA Recommends — "Light is ‘Easy to read and understand, gives a lot of good information’ (5th grade student) … Light would be a good addition to the elementary classroom library and fits in well with a unit on astronomy or as an extension to studying electricity. The book has interesting comparisons to help the reader visualize the somewhat abstract concept of light".
