Young children find the characteristics of electrons to be utterly fascinating, particularly when told from that selfsame particle's point of view. Electrons charmingly portrays the title particle as a cute and cheery character who narrates her distinctive scientific attributes in a series of playful and informative segments. In this highly engaging context, young readers easily absorb details such as the electron's mass, charge, diminutive order of magnitude relative to a dot on the page, its lightning-like speed, the powerful role it plays in generating electricity and, perhaps most magical of all, the mysterious behavior known as wave-particle duality. Each consecutive pair of pages entertainingly articulates a different aspect of the electron through colorful, eye-catching illustrations and accessible, easy-to-understand language. Kids come away not only with newfound knowledge, but also with burgeoning curiosity about what is going on behind the scenes in our physical world.
