I couldn't agree more with the statement that good science books involve children in what scientists do. A prime example is "A First Look at..." series, many/most/all by Millicent Selsam. This series asks readers questions to raise points of investigation and then as information is offered through text and black and white drawings, readers are asked to observe and classify. The books are very interactive and build knowledge in a logical sequence. The art truly supports the text. I hope others will identify books at a more advanced level of inquiry that retain this sense of involvement in the scientific process. Melody Allen melodyan at dsl.rhilinet.gov
