(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nancy Tobin. In simple terms that sometimes oversimplify the complex subject, JoJo reads to and enlightens her dog, Willy, about electrons, static electricity, batteries, generators, etc., to explain the principles and processes of electricity. A power-plant-to-house-outlet diagram pulls things together, and cartoon illustrations in bold colors aid understanding. Three simple experiments conclude the volume.
