Book Reviews of Enjoy Your Cells (Enjoy Your Cells, 1)
Book Review: Very colorful and informative
Summary: 5 Stars
Does an excellent job of detailing specialized cells. This text goes through the entire process of sperm combining with egg producing a zygote and the development of an embryo. I read this book to my three year-old daughter, and she was amazed at the development--she even noticed that the 'baby' did not have ears! The images are very colorful that keep their attention.
This text also compares cells of different animals such as plant, dog, and cat. I also noticed that the concepts taught in this book correlate to the AAAS Atlas for appropriate concept development (they say age range up to 9). This is appropriate for my children to bridge the gap between elementary school and high school ( I teach high school biology).
Summary of Enjoy Your Cells (Enjoy Your Cells, 1)
Enjoy Your Cells is a new series of children's books from the acclaimed creative partnership of scientist/author Fran Balkwill and illustrator Mic Rolph. The titles in the series include: Enjoy Your Cells Germ Zappers Have a Nice DNA! Gene Machines Once again, they use their unique brand of simple but scientifically accurate commentary and exuberantly colorful graphics to take young readers on an entertaining exploration of the amazing, hidden world of cells, proteins, and DNA. It's over ten years since Fran and Mic invented a new way of getting science across to children. Think what extraordinary advances have been made in biology in that time - and how often those discoveries made headlines. Stem cells, cloning, embryo transfer, emerging infections, vaccine development...here in these books are the basic facts behind the public debates. With these books, children will learn to enjoy their cells and current affairs at the same time. And they're getting information that has been written and reviewed by working scientists, so it's completely correct and up-to-date. Readers aged 7 and up will appreciate the stories' lively language and with help, even younger children will enjoy and learn from the jokes and illustrations - no expert required! This series is a must for all elementary school students and those who care about educating them to be well-informed in a world of increasingly complex health-related and environmental issues. Fran Balkwill is Professor of Cancer Biology at St. Bartholomew's Hospital and the London Queen Mary School of Medicine. Mic Rolph is a graphic designer with much television and publishing experience. Together, they have created many books for children, and have won several awards, including the prestigious COPUS Junior Science Book Prize.Biology Books
