In an attempt to provide positive and unexaggerated descriptions of the practice of science, Lehn presents a list of statements, such as "a scientist notices details" and "a scientist has fun," accompanied by inviting photographs of children engaged in specific examples of these activities. The image of science presented here is right in line with national guidelines for activity-based science curricula.
