Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The STEAM Team
Lisa Burke · 2018
78/100
👍 Worth It
DK knows how to make reference books that children actually open, and this one pairs that track record with a clever character-mascot system that gives each STEAM discipline a memorable personality. Robert Winston's foreword is genuine credibility, not decorative. At the 5-to-8 range it works as a curiosity-sparker; don't expect deep instruction, but as an entry point to five different disciplines in one volume it is hard to beat.
