Science Detectives: How Scientists Solved Six Real-Life Mysteries

48 pp. | Kids Can | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-55337-994-2 $15.95 | Paper ISBN 1-55337-995-0 $8.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Rose Cowles. The authors (editors of the bimonthly kids' publication YES Mag) here liken scientists to detectives, recasting topics such as the discovery of DNA's structure as successfully solved scientific mysteries. Additional research "cases," biographies of scientists, and hands-on projects help break up the pages. The mixed-media illustrations capture the light tone of the text, while photographs help add verisimilitude.
