Amazing DNA

48 pp. | Millbrook | September, 2007 | Library ISBN 978-0-8225-7139-1 $29.27
(3) 4-6 Microquests series. Illustrated by Jack Desrocher & Jennifer E. Fairman. At a steady pace, Johnson builds one scientific concept at a time using authentic terminology and connecting new information to familiar things (chromosomes are like "scrunched-up...clumps"). Full-color microscope images, drawings, and cartoons appear in a clean, uncluttered format, combining solid science with humor, which should appeal to the intended audience. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Microquests titles: Amazing DNA, Mighty Animal Cells, and Ultra-Organized Cell Systems.
