Roaring Brook Press Island: A Story of the Galapagos
Book SynopsisCharles Darwin first visited the Galapagos Islands almost 200 years ago, only to discover a land filled with plants and animals that could not be found anywhere else on earth. How did they come to inhabit the island? How long will they remain? Thoroughly researched and filled with intricate and beautiful paintings, this extraordinary book by Award-winning author and artist Jason Chin is an epic saga of the life of an island born of fire, rising to greatness, its decline, and finally the emergence of life on new islands. Chin's approach makes this book a must-have common core tool for teachers and librarians introducing scientific principals to young students."Island "is one of "Kirkus Reviews' "Best Children's Books of 2012"Trade ReviewHandsome and succinct... "The Wall Street Journal" Chin's remarkable introduction to the Galapagos is not just a story. It's a biography. It begins with an island's "birth" six million years ago. "A volcano has been growing under the ocean for millions of years," Chin writes. "With this eruption it rises above the water for the first time, and a new island is born." In full-page watercolor paintings and small-size panel illustrations, Chin shows how the tremendous explosion leaves a mass of lava, which hardens and grows into an island. Any reader who has ever made a homemade "volcano" out of baking soda will be hooked. Writing scientific narrative nonfiction for young children is challenge enough, but creating engaging picture books for older children about the natural world isn't easy either. How to pull in the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" reader? Credit to Jason Chin, who succeeded at both in "Coral Reefs" (2011) and "Redwoods" (2009). He does so again in his latest, "Island: A Story of the Galapagos." Chin, as author-illustrator, melds geology with evolution, showing how the land and its inhabitants interact and shape one another in a natural-world interplay. We see how a few intrepid immigrant animals arrive, colonize and transform themselves to accommodate the particular features of their new home. The island grows and changes too as new eruptions lead to the appearance of other nearby islands, while eruptions on the original island grow infrequent, and then cease. ...a remarkable work and an asset for educators... "Publishers Weekly, starred" Chin's gorgeous illustrations include sweeping double-page spreads of the island and its inhabitants "Horn Book Magazine, starred" Another superb contribution to scientific literature by Chin. "Kirkus, starred" ...this fine introduction to [the Galapagos] will surely stimulate readers' interest. "School Library Journal, starred" The art is masterful in its combination of realism and artistic flow; the layout complements sweeping full-page, full-bleed landscapes with carefully controlled panel sequences that provide additional focus on a process or creature, so the evolution of larger finches' beaks, for instance, is clearly demonstrated and explained.

Chicago Review Press Albert Einstein and Relativity for Kids
Book Synopsis2012 VOYA Nonfiction Honor List SelectionBest known for his general theory of relativity and the famous equation linking mass and energy, E = mc², Albert Einstein had a lasting impact on the world of science, the extent of which is illuminated—along with his fascinating life and unique personality—in this lively history. In addition to learning all about Einstein’s important contributions to science, from proving the existence and size of atoms and launching the field of quantum mechanics to creating models of the universe that led to the discovery of black holes and the big bang theory, young physicists will participate in activities and thought experiments to bring his theories and ideas to life. Such activities include using dominoes to model a nuclear chain reaction, replicating the expanding universe in a microwave oven, creating blue skies and red sunsets in a soda bottle, and calculating the speed of light using a melted chocolate bar. Suggestions for further study, a time line, and sidebars on the work of other physicists of the day make this an incredibly accessible resource for inquisitive children.Trade Review"Motivated readers will be rewarded with a better understanding of the theories behind the science used today" -- School Library Journal"Pohlen provides clear explanations, filled with readily graspable analogies, and often walks readers, step by step, through Einstein's own thought experiments... A great resource for curious kids ages 9 and up, who might not otherwise have access to this topic."-- Home Education Magazine"I thoroughly enjoyed the effective melding of anecdotes, life history, and scientific achievements." -- National Science Teachers Association (NSTA.org)"A great introduction to a man and an equation that are usually considered advanced fare--but are central to everybody's way of life." -- GeekDadAn incredibly accessible resource for inquisitive children," and "a must for Science Teachers." -- Science Project Ideas for Kids"You'll find plenty of material in this fascinating book to challenge and pique your imagination." -- Bookloons.com"What I love about this book is...everything! It's fascinating, informative and essential, plus curious kids will love and understand it" -- Good Reads with Ronna"I wish that something like this was around to help me out back when I was in school!" -- Concert Katie
