How Technology Works
Broader in scope and more current than similar single-volume works for middle grades such as Dan Green’s Basher Science: Technology, but unsystematic in organization and free of leads to further information. Best suited for browsing
PREMIUM
Nova the Star Eater
A delicious astro-tale that provides lower primary grade audiences with glimpses of our place in space, capped with a zinger that will please Jon Klassen fans.

Bake Like a Pro
Offering challenging but realistically doable projects and specific explanations of background chemical and physical principles, these engaging guides will leave no wrench or spatula safe from middle and high school students (not to mention more intrepid grade schoolers). –John Peters, Children's Literature Consultant, New York
Nine Months: Before a Baby Is Born
A bright, savvy heads-up for younger children in growing families; equally useful for shaping expectations and providing realistic glimpses of what's going on inside a pregnant person.
Dictionary of Dinosaurs: An Illustrated A to Z of Every Dinosaur Ever Discovered
More suitable for browsing than reference—though a rich source of delight for young dinosaur fans who love to fit their mouths around those polysyllabic names.
Inventions: A Visual Encyclopedia
There are no resource lists in this title, but the high-quality images and a topical rather than chronological or alphabetical arrangement make this substantial survey most suitable for middle and upper elementary grade browsers.
Thirty Minutes Over Oregon: A Japanese Pilot's World War II Story
A worthy addition for younger middle graders.
Solar System: Our Place in Space
A story line infused with humor and drama adds particular animation to this entry in the "Science Comics" series; budding astro-tourists in middle elementary grades will happily sign up for repeat journeys.
First Earth Encyclopedia
Changes and new material are not substantial enough to bill this as a new work, but it is well worth considering for elementary school and public libraries that don't already own the previous edition or are in need of replacement copies.
