About The Illuminating World Of Light With Max
Product Description Follows the adventures of Max Axiom as he explains the science behind light. Written in graphic-novel format. Review Winner of the 2008 Teachers' Choice Award for Children's Books --Learning Magazine, September 2007 Solid science and decent graphic-novel style illustrations are the basis for the series. In Forces and Motion, to represent motion, some of the illustrations are blurred which may be off-putting to some. The More About section of each book sums up the topic. Inset boxes address vocabulary, interesting facts, and famous people. Web sites are accessed through FactHound. The action and story line are easy-to-follow, even for those not raised on graphic novels. These should be a welcome addition to a collection and will be enjoyed by students who like graphic formats, science, and ESOL and Special Education populations. Bibliography. Glossary. Index. Recommended. --Library Media Connection; Vol. 26, No. 2; Page 88, October 2007 Finalist of the 2007 Distinguished Achievement Award --Association of Educational Publishers, June 2007 About the Author Emily Sohn is a freelance journalist in Minneapolis, who covers mostly health, science, environment and adventure for both kids and grown-ups.
