Zoology, paleontology, oceanography, physics, chemistry, robotics, and astronomy are some of the areas the reader learns about in ALLISON EXPLORES SCIENCE. This engaging, child-centered story is an informative introduction to many exciting branches of science. Allison is encouraged to think and act like a scientist; ask questions, observe her world, use science words from the text, and record her thinking. The book is a fun look at the vast fields of science for any child, but especially for an "Allison" because she is the main character in this book and her name is featured throughout. This book, combined with ALLISON'S SCIENCE JOURNAL and LET'S EXPLORE SCIENCE: BRANCHES OF SCIENCE COLORING BOOK is a great way to motivate a child to explore the wonders of the world and outer space.
