Gene Machines: (Enjoy Your Cells Series 4)

My almost- 5 year old loves these whole series of books and has me read and re-read, and is talking with scientific vocabulary and asking questions that surprises other adults who I presume haven't seen these books. Great illustrations. Very happy I purchased, and I assume they will be in use for years to come!

Frances Balkwill has the ability to write about science without making it seem to science-y or over kids heads. Mic Rolph's pictures are fun and draw kids in to the ideas. This book explains cells, proteins, DNA, as well as some current genetic hot topics. I use these with junior high students. They are always engaged in the topic!

I bought this in combination with Have a Nice DNA to use as supplements for a middle school, General Science introduction to DNA and genes. They give a great overview, in an interesting format.

My grandson loves the book. Very pleased with the purchase.

A well-written book. Fun to read with kids.

After the Christmas RI lectures we bought these to learn more about this complicated subject. Lovely illustrations and clear explanations.

Excellent
