Ruth Spiro is an expert at using kid-friendly language and storytelling techniques to inform young readers (and their parents) about scientific topics. How to Explain Robotics to a Grown-Up uses authentic vocabulary paired with rhythmic and repetitive phrases that make sense. Teresa Martinez pens friendly-looking, diverse characters that appeal to the reader.
The glossary and endnotes give further information for families and/or teachers, so reading together is encouraged.
I especially love Ms. Spiro’s dedication. A personal, sweet tribute.
