Science Verse

As described

Has great potential in helping children to recall some science basics whilst have fun.

An pretty nice book, but a bit too complicated. My son enjoyed listening but he didn't have a clue what it was about. He loves science in story format so I was hopeful for this book but we won't be re-reading it.

Very very clever! There’s a teachable lesson easily explained on every page with hilarious verse and illustrations. Adults may recognize ‘Casey At the Bat’, and Robert Frost poems…but in scientific rhyme. Kids ought to love this book.

Doesn't really teach anything about science. Very little content overall. The illustrations are also disappointing. Just a short series of classic poems butchered to add some science-y sounding words.

“耳をすませば、あらゆることが科学の詩として聞こえてきます” という先生の言葉を真に受けた、男の子がハマった世界を、JON&LANEの名コンビが ちょっと毒のあるユーモアで描いています。 食物連鎖、進化、宇宙の誕生、原子 等々、自然科学をネタにした詩がいっぱい。 中には、どっかで読んだ詩に似ているものがあるなあ、と思ったら、案の定、それぞれ 有名な詩のパロディになっているようです。英語圏では、馴染みの詩のようですが、 それを知らないと、楽しさに深みがでないところが、ちょっと残念に思いました。 付録のCDでは、作者２人の朗読が聞けて、得した気分になれます。

This was among one of the best books gor 10 years old children and had awards to its name. Very high rating on amazon dot com. So i bought it And i regret it so much. Its just a collection of clumsily written bad rhymes. Its just tukabandi and nothing else. The number of so called poems is also so less.

Purchased this as a gift to my biologist wife. She appreciated the humour of the puns and jargon set to popular children's poems and rhymes. The illustrations are well done too and fit the bill.
