Science is fascinating, it gives us the knowledge to solve many challenges and problems that we face, but also to admire and respect the natural world of which we are part. It is the foundation of the technology that gives comfort to our daily lives and so many other things in which it has useful applications. This book contains superbs photographs and a splendid design, with extensive content to enlighten the minds of the most inquisitive and curious children. DK Children is a guarantee of educational quality, without a doubt from my favorite publishers.

Super Science Encyclopedia is a colorful and engaging look at science by the editors at DK. Due out 17th Aug 2021 from Penguin Random House on their DK imprint, it's 208 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.

I've been harping for decades about the importance of STE(A)M education and how vital it is to foster a sense of wonder in young people to engage in science and technology. This is a good concise collection of short articles aimed at middle grades readers with a broad overview over different branches of science and allied concepts. The terminology is accessible and does a good job of making information understandable without oversimplifying or being pedantic.

A very short general introduction about science in our daily lives leads directly into chapters filled with short info-dense capsule units about a wide variety of science topics, from microbes and how they impact us to sonar and weather balloons. The book includes a glossary and cross referenced index to make the information easier to find.

The book is well illustrated and colorful throughout. The charts and graphics are easy to understand and accessible and the photography is very good. I liked that it showed the interrelationships between the disciplines in biology, chemistry, and physics. Scattered throughout the book, these interdisciplinary connections are explored and readers are given a closer look at new ideas for further reading. Short colorful sidebar graphics give appealing and concise info-bites for readers to digest along with the main text.

This would be a good choice for public or school libraries as well as for home use. Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

Thanks to DK Children and NetGalley for giving the opportunity to read and review this great children's resource!

Super Science Encyclopedia by DK is an interesting reference text, filled with pretty cool visuals and new tech solutions. While it can serve as a reference point in your class or at home, the number of topics is wide and the actual content of each is quite brief making further outside research a must.

Another win for DK! This book will be a great resource for our homeschool! The book is user friendly and the layout makes it easy to find something you have a specific interest in. This is an excellent book to supplement your homeschool lessons across a broad age range, or to have in any classroom or learning environment. We will definitely be adding this to our reference library.
