"Bite-sized history" according to Greg Kochanski. It's a neat bit of history, told well for kids in a bite-size package. It takes one of those obscure facts that we all have rattling around in our heads from High school ("Yeah. Gulf stream. warm water") and fleshes it out into a nifty little story with excellent illustrations.My. Good Story, Good Science A Customer This is an important subject that is only mysterious because people think it's boring or too hard to understand. Deborah Heiligman changes that with a very interesting story that will have your second-grader knowing more than even a lot of scientists.
