HIT: Science Books

[Marianne Beck <beck@WARTBURG.EDU>]

Many thanks to all of you who sent me recommendations for science books.  I
did try to thank each person individually, but got bogged down as my
ordering deadline approached, and am afraid I may have missed some of you.
Your help was much appreciated!

As requested, I am posting a hit.

Eyewitness Junior books
Marshall Cavendish - Encyclopedia of Mammals
Benchmark - sets of animal books
Nature's Children from Grolier  (6 sets)
Nature's Children by Rourke
Grzimek's Animal Life
Encyclopedia (Van Nostrand Reinhold Co.
Usborne books
Field guides & Dorling Kindersley's Amazing
Animals series
Zoobook Series

NSTA (National Science Teacher's Association) has a wonderful list of
children's trade books in the field of science that they choose each year.
Check their web site or look in Science and Children.

Don't forget to try a site like WEED of the MONTH
and find copies of the Science book Review magazine
Appraisal.

This page notes that Appraisal is out of Boston.  Plus it
seems to have other good ideas.
