Lighting Up Young Minds

Dr. Heidi Gold-Dworkin's books are a thrilling addition to children's literature and an important introduction to concepts that most kids usually have to wait to learn until they're in junior and senior high school. With the world of science exploding around us, these books are the best way for kids to learn early what makes our universe tick. I have no doubt that future Nobel Prize winners will cite the influence of Dr.Heidi's books when they mount the podium in Oslo someday!

Original and Fun!

We have all three of Dr. Heidi's book's and can't wait for the next one. My 5 year-old loves doing the simple experiments that Dr. Heidi outlines. Not only do these books truly illustrate in a simple way the way the world works, but they are a great way to spend time with your children while they are learning valuable things about the world. Dr. Heidi clearly understands how to communicate with 4-8 year-old kids. And I learned a lot to. Highly recommended for learning (by both child and parent) and fun. 5 plus stars!

Exceptional Book for Children, Parents, and Teachers

This is a remarkable children's science book. I am an elementary school teacher and I am using the book for my K-3rd grade students. My students love the experiments and this book is helping them to enjoy science. The pictures are great and the questions that Olivia asks about light and color are just what my students want to know. I can't wait to read the others.
