Book Reviews of Biology: Life as We Know It!
Book Review: Analogies and metaphors make rudimentary concepts stick
Summary: 4 Stars
I highly recommend this book for any elementary aged child. It is not as thorough as a text or even a typical non-fiction book, but it introduces many basic ideas in a way that children will remember. I wasn't so sure about a science book with cartoons, but the first person text sold me. My daughter had an instant connection with the characters in the book, giving me confidence that she will remember them when she is old enough to learn about them in a more complex academic setting.
Topics include the building blocks of life, classification of organisms, body parts, and parts of green shoots. I am giving this four stars instead of five because I feel like more thought could have been given to the organization of the book. Perhaps the main categories are too broad. For example, there are entries for the cell, mitochondria, DNA, and RNA, but not other cell parts such as the nucleus, cell walls/membranes, vacuoles, and so on.
Overall, this is an entertaining and informative book well suited for children aged 6 to 12.
