Review Quotes




Selected for the CBC October 2024 Hot Off The Press List.


"Gr 2-4--These titles feature the Bright family (mom, dad, son, and daughter), as they encounter STEM topics during their everyday activities. Each spread focuses on a question that the kids might ask. For instance, as they go camping, they wonder "What's the weather going to be like?" Other topics that come up include how to filter water and where the sun goes at night. Discussions about fractions, symmetry, and forms of measurement come up as they plan a birthday party for Grandma. Each question is followed by an explanation, observation or comparison, and an additional point or even suggestions to "Try It Yourself." Cartoonish illustrations capture the family in action. Diagrams, charts, and other visuals further support the text. To help extend the learning there is a suggested reading list and a "Learning Check" with five review questions. VERDICT A relatable way to introduce STEM content to young science learners." --School Library Journal


"Overall, I like that this book brings large concepts into relatable activities, sparking curiosity to learn more." --Connie Reid, YA Books Central


"Verdict: This is part of a series, Everyday STEM, which I think will be of special interest to my homeschooling families. It would also be a good supplemental book for classrooms looking for unit studies." --Flying Off My Bookshelf


"Our Camping Trip is such a great STEM resource for curious kids. Jam packed with science facts, curious questions and very cute infographics, Our Camping Trip is the perfect gift for any kid whose favorite question is, why?" --Chelsea R., NetGalley-Reviewer


"Very cool and fun way to learn about different STEM topics using every day topics and hands on learning." --Lindsay G., NetGalley-Reviewer
