Scien-Trickery: Riddles in Science

32 pp. | Harcourt/Silver Whistle | April, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-15-216681-5 $$16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz. Riddle poems, written in a variety of styles, describe science-related places (Galápagos Islands), people (Einstein), and concepts (gravity, humidity); the answers are provided upside-down at the end of each poem. The accompanying cartoonlike illustrations provide a friendly touch, though they sometimes give away the answers to the riddles. A final section of notes provides additional scientific information.
