The question "How do we support quality science education for children?" has prompted different answers over the years. Thirty-seven years ago, the American Association for the Advancement of Science collected exemplary books about science, put them in a trunk, and shipped them around the country. The program staff deduced that making these books available to teachers and children would support science education even if in a modest way. The traveling books gave way to a more structured approach: Reviewing science books and making these reviews available to those who would purchase and use such books. This led to the birth of The AAAS Science Book List for Children, first published in 1960, which in turn led to the review journal Science Books & Films. Over the years, the first book list has continually been updated by excerpting children's book reviews originally published in Science Books & Films. This volume continues that tradition and provides teachers and educators, librarians and media specialists, and resource center directors in museums or other out-of-school settings with a guide for the purchase and use of science books and resource materials.Sosa, Maria is the author of 'Science Books & Films' Best Books for Children 1988-91' with ISBN 9780805818796 and ISBN 0805818790.
