Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
The book begins by comparing the size of a pygmy shrew to a toadstool, an elephant and a ladybug. The composition of smaller and smaller particles is explored. Illustrations of paramecia, bacteria, molecules, atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons and quarks are included along with the explanation that in order to view these a special microscope is needed. A small glossary is also included. The magnified illustrations help to clarify the vocabulary.

From The Critics
Gr 3-4In this presentation that goes from small to infinitesimal, Wells compares the size of a tiny animal (a pygmy shrew) to an insect (a ladybug), which is in turn contrasted with one-celled animals, bacteria, molecules, atoms, and sub-atomic particles. Bright, colorful cartoons and a text that looks like hand lettering in a variety of fonts are jauntily arranged across the pages. Readers are encouraged to try to imagine being the sizes of the creatures under discussion. This lighthearted treatment is fine for the familiar, but begins to become confusing for a paramecium, an amoeba, and bacteria. Viruses are skipped as the narrative continues to include molecules, atoms, quarks, and electrons of the physical sciences instead of a parallel journey through diminishing sizes in the animal world to perhaps ovum, sperm, and DNA. The book has the look of an introduction for young readers. As the narrative continues, however, many terms are introduced, without pronunciation guides even in the two-page glossary, and the cartoon approach becomes cluttered and less effective.Frances E. Millhouser, Reston Regional Library, VA

    This book helps to stimulate young readers minds on the subject of atoms. It is a great book for young readers who enjoy science.
