Rourke Educational Media I Use Science Tools―Children’s Book About Different Science Instruments, K-Grade 1 Leveled Readers, My Science Library (24 Pages) Reader Paperback – August 1, 2011

My granddaughter (3yo) has truly loved bugs, rocks, leaves and sticks since she could crawl. We got her a magnifying glass and this book and another science book. She now describes herself as a scientist and wears goggles, uses an egg carton, plastic cups and has her own collection box for collecting dead bugs and making bug houses for them. One bug disintegrated when she picked it up revealing its inner structures. She said, Look Grandma! Bones! This book stimulates discussion, curiosity, walks in the yard, garden, neighborhood, and park. The book is a launching pad for discussions about measuring, counting, waiting for nature to come to you, looking at nature but letting critters go home at night, thinking about how the critters feel, capturing only dead animals to keep, and washing hands if not using nitrile gloves. We LOVE it!!

This book is easy to read this to kindergartens.

Very engaging for my students.

I introduced the tools the students will use for exploration. It is a simple reader with good illustrations that support the text.

Perfect resource for my kindergarten class as we learn about scientists and the tools they use.

This book has like fifty words max in it and there was still a misprint. That's pretty bad in my opinion.

Great book for my 2nd graders! Talks about different tools that scientists use. Perfect way to introduce scientific tools.

Very appropriate for preschoolers
