A nice little review of Magnesium
My editor at Rosen Publishing passed along this review of my children’s science book Magnesium yesterday:
“This is the second book in this series that I have reviewed and again, the author has done a fine job of explaining what can be a complex and confusing subject. Although not a scientist, I enjoyed the anecdotal information provided with an explanation of the element, its discovery, importance and uses. The colorful illustrations help to illustrate the concepts being discussed and will help make this useful for student reports.” – Sheila Morken, K-12 Librarian, La Center Schools, Lower Columbia (Washington State) Review Group
These kind of educational series books (of which I write quite a few) don’t always get reviewed very much, so this was nice to see.
