School Library Journal Review
Gr 4-6-An exploration of discoveries and inventions, ranging from penicillin to Pluto's moon to Silly PuttyTM. By describing how these discoveries were made, the authors demonstrate how the breakthroughs that seemed accidental often occurred only after years of work and keen scientific thought and observation. In most cases, the examples are covered in concise, yet informative chapters. Sometimes, however, the text is too brief and will leave readers confused. Suggested activities follow each chapter, and for the most part they help to illuminate the discussions, though in a few cases making the experiment match the discovery seems like a bit of a stretch. Also, in a project in which children make their own safety glass, adult supervision is not suggested. Simple black-line drawings and diagrams add to the book's light tone. On the whole, this title succeeds in telling about the process of scientific discovery in an entertaining way.-Todd Morning, Schaumburg Township Public Library, IL (c) Copyright 2010.
