K-3Start with Science series.
Bird provides Oscar with basic information about electricity while Snail answers the curious kitten's questions about birds' nests, glass, flotation, and more. Both texts are accessible in a way that allows room for Oscar's childlike sense of wonder. Blocky digital illustrations made up of simple shapes with strong lines and muted colors work well with the texts. Ind. Review covers these Start with Science titles: Oscar and the Bird and Oscar and the Snail.
