Horn Book Review

On the title page, color photographs of objects such as silica gel in a dessicator, saffron, and a bee, jump from the page. The caption next to the bee states, 'The acid in a bee sting can be soothed by alkaline ointment.' What's an acid? What's an alkaline? Teased by the statements and the promise of more vivid images, who can resist turning the pages? The young reader will gain an impression of the field of chemistry, how it came to be, and how it affects day-to-day life. Ind. From HORN BOOK 1993, (c) Copyright 2010.
