From Carol Hurst's Children's Literature Newsletter
"There are twenty lessons here, each extending from a single picture book and the extensions are good, solid, exciting science activities. Furthermore, I haven't seen most of these activities described in other science activity books. These are fresh and new. Don't miss this one!"
From Library Talk
"Encouraging teachers to use trade books in the science curriculum will be easier with Teaching Physical Science through Children's Literature."
From Science and Children
"I recommend this impressive resource as a principal rather than only a supplementary teaching tool."
From "NSTA Recommends"
"This guide is a way to begin making these connections between science and literature in a meaningful way?[and] it may do more to encourage elementary teachers to do science than if it were a straight science book."
From Science Activities magazine
"A veritable gold mine of valuable information for classroom teachers. Even if one were to carry out only a few of the activities, the book would be well worth its price. I highly recommend the book for the professional shelf of a school library or a teacher's personal collection."
