High-quality educational content and imagination-stirring storytelling converge seamlessly in Mole and Tell, a winning combination that captures and holds young learners' attention from the get-go! The wonders and history of a universal unit of measurement called a mole are on display throughout, with International Mole Day serving as the springboard for an epically-informative, classroom show and tell. In addition to the numeric definition of a mole, students learn of the Italian chemist whose work led to its development and that such discoveries are often the result of scientists working in concert. The use of scientific notation to express very large numbers is also explored (a mole of something, it turns out, is a lot!), as is the prominent usage of moles in a variety of professions. There is plenty more to learn amid this beautifully-illustrated classroom adventure, and the upbeat, naturalistic dialogue holds readers enjoyably rapt as they take in every word!
