Media Reviews
'filled with useful information..supported by a range of excellent photographs and diagrams, a comprehensive account. Useful as support for existing projects ...could also be used to start students off on new topics.' -- School Librarian, v.49, no.1, Spring 2001 '[T]his offers a very structured, easy to follow, insight into the topics of light and sound. It gives accurate, interesting information easily accessible with the help of sub-headings and 'fact files' ... All this is supported by clear photgrpahs and labelled diagrams which all culminate into a very useful resource for both teacher and pupil. All books in the series follow the same format and do not just offer the 'usual' but extend into the more interesting ... An attractive and useful set for a Science shelf AND most useful for teaching non-fiction, explanatory texts features in the Literacy Hour.' -- Somerset Children's Book Review No. 30
