Curious McCarthy's Family Chemistry

(4) 1-3 Curious McCarthy series. Illustrated by Mina Price. In these chapter books, a large family's chaos provides ample fodder for observant middle child Curious McCarthy, whether she's studying family "chemistry" after their father gets a temp job or investigating electricity during a blackout. A likable, footnote-using narrator and the charming family of abundant siblings outweigh the self-conscious writing and uneven digital illustrations. The books include extension activities and discussion questions. Reading list. Glos. review covers these Curious McCarthy titles: Curious McCarthy's Electric Ideas and Curious McCarthy's Family Chemistry.
