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.
