Sneeze!

Fascinating photographs reveal the microscopic progress of a sneeze, and a clearly written informative text accompanies them. The final few pages in this eye-opening book include additional material: a list of interesting facts, a series of stills from the first motion picture produced in 1894, "The Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze", that showed a man pretending to sneeze, an explanation about how the electron micrographs (photographs) are obtained, a list of resources for further study, and a glossary. To get in the mood, listen to Jim Gill's, "The Sneezing Song" first. This well focused science book with its multicultural cast of children, each sneezing for a different reason including: dust, mites, mold and pollen, will amaze budding scientists and browsers alike. Give to children, 4th grade and up.
