Science for Smartypants

Ten slim science books answer the kind of questions children ask long before anyone teaches them to stop asking. Anushka Ravishankar writes and Pia Alizé Hazarika illustrates, and the pair keep explanations short, concrete and free of technical vocabulary. Each volume takes one idea and works it through, with pictures doing much of the explaining. The set is built for beginning readers rather than for reference, so the books can be taken in any order and revisited as a child's understanding grows. Nothing in them assumes prior science teaching. This edition covers: • Ten separate titles collected in one box • Text by Anushka Ravishankar with illustration by Pia Alizé Hazarika • One science idea per book, explained without jargon • A format that encourages questions rather than memorised answers Suited to curious primary-age children, classroom shelves and parents starting a first science collection, available at Boipoka.
