Explore Money! With 25 Great Projects Marla Conn, educational consultant "Money is GREAT! I love the mad lib and the printing/etching activity in particular. This is truly a STEAM title." Neale Godfrey, Chairman, GreenStreet Commons, New York Times #1 Best Selling Author "A great book to have for your kids to get the money conversations going!" Praise for Explore Night Science! School Library Journal "Six chapters cover the 'when' and 'why' of night; seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling the night; and, finally, night lights. The chapters on the senses are a fine introduction to how human senses work, with experiments that further explore the concepts. It isn't all serious science as there are plenty of silly jokes, such as, 'What did the atmosphere say to the Earth? I've got you covered!' and a funny little cartoon owl mascot follows readers through the book ... Information on what happens at night, nocturnal animal adaptations, and fun facts such as the reason that pirates wear eye patches will keep kids interested. This one will be worth staying up past bedtime for."
