Amy's Reviews > Dragons and Marshmallows

These books are gold for my daughter - a beginning chapter book with great illustrations that uses the treatment of magical creatures as a sneaky education into the scientific method. My little loves these books, can read them herself (though she still prefers the joint read) and she will be a whiz for making her own experiments (with only one variable change), creating hypothesis and documenting her work! That makes this B.S. grad very happy. There are even new science glossary terms at the end of each book (this one included herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, warm-blooded and cold-blooded e.g.) Science is pretty fun when you're helping fuel a dragon with the right input (marshmellows yummy but not so good for the tummy, fish is better, also, gotta keep a reptile warm!) to let him grow big, strong and energetic!
