This was a great book! This book really went into detail about microscopes. Not only did it talk about what microscopes are and how microscopes are used, but it also went into great detail about the different types of microscopes including the first microscopes that were built/used. I like how the book is divided up into tiny chapters for each subject. The book also contains real photographs for pictures which I really liked because it helps you get a better understanding of the microscopes.

This was a good informational text on Diabetes. I know the general information about what Diabetes is and how you treat Diabetes, however I was not too familiar with what causes Diabetes, what happens to your body when you have Diabetes and the exact treatment for Diabetes. After reading this book I was able to gain a lot more knowledge of Diabetes and understand how people live with Diabetes.

With this book, I focused solely on the part about fingerprints for an invitation that I had put together on fingerprint identification. It provided a limited amount of information on fingerprints so I supplemented it with the book, "Zoom in on Crime Scenes". I think this book is suitable for grades 4 and up because of its mature content.
