Secrets of the Snow Globe:

After starting to collect snow globes with the help of her grandmother, Lily has questions.

As she researches and experiments, Lily learns about light waves, magnification, and density—all while gathering ingredients to make her own snow globe.

When Ms. Vega announces a mural painting contest at school, James can’t wait to draw a picture to fill the library wall.

HALL WAYS BLOG Mini-Review of The Wonder of Color. Okay, technically I didn't read the hardcover (read the digital ARC), but I can tell that having this colorful, informative, and well-written book in hand will make the 5-Stars rating double to 10.

The illustrations by Floss Pottage are warm and make learning how science works less intimidating -- and dare I say it - fun! Author Catherine Stier uses the correct terms, which I applaud even for such a young audience. The key, that she clearly gets, is explaining those terms in a way readers of all ages understand it.

The main character's curiosity is refreshing, and readers will enjoy the family dynamic and gentle lessons about kindness and sharing. There’s so much to love in this book, and I think it will become a classroom favorite for any teacher or librarian who shares it with students.

 

Catherine Stier is the author of more than twenty children's books including the SCIENCE MAKES IT WORK picture book series and the Kirkus star-reviewed A DOG’S DAY chapter book series. She holds a master’s degree in reading and literacy and has served as a magazine writer, newspaper columnist, and writing instructor. Stier resides in San Antonio, Texas.
