Solid information with good illustrations and interesting experiments. Wish the terms were bold and there was a glossary or other way of showing meanings, though.
Pretty good! The text is clear and simple (though I do wish some of the "big" words, like electromagnetic radiation, came with definitions. I mean, "Reflect" is given a definition within the text itself...) and the illustrations are well done and serve to highlight the examples given in the text.
It also comes with a couple cool experiments in the back to spark discussion of practical uses/needs for light.

A new book from the "Let's Read and Find Out Science" series. This series introduces science concepts in a way that is accessible for young children to understand.
Teaches basic concepts of light. Will cover several new science standards, especially for first grade.

There are great facts in here about light and how it works and how fast it moves. This is a great nonfiction book for kids curious about how the world around them works. One little tidbit was ancient people’s used to take gourds, poke holes in them and catch fireflies and put inside for the evening to use as a light source. Then you can let the bugs go. I thought that was smart and sustainable. The fireflies simply have to be out, so not great for winter.
Light travels 11 million miles a minute. That’s pretty fast. No wonder we can’t see that. I’d like to see the Flash be that fast. Wouldn’t that be cool if he could run around light particles and waves. Trippy.
The facts are fun and upbeat and curious kids will be interested and this can lead them to books with more facts.
