編輯推薦
適讀人群 :4-8歲 These titles provide brief yet clear information on their respective topics. Day Light discusses the nature of light, darkness, and seeing, and the role heat plays in generating light. Floating in Space discusses how astronauts move and cope with weightlessness in space. Amusing illustrations, verbal and pictorial, demonstrate how gravity works. Children will find much of the information both entertaining and interesting, such as the way astronauts eat with magnetized trays that hold utensils in place. Full-color paintings illustrate the first title and softly colored cartoons enhance the latter. Both are worthy additions to collections that need science materials for early grades.
In this Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science entry, Branley (see review, above) takes readers on a space shuttle mission, from blast-off to touchdown, but focusing mainly on life in orbit. As he points out, ``zero gravity'' is a misnomer--but only barely; so negligible is gravitational pull that astronauts temporarily grow an inch or so as their joints relax, are able to stand on the walls and ceiling, have to learn new ways to eat, sleep, and use the toilet, and must be very careful about stowing small objects before re-entry. In Kelley's cheerful watercolors, smiling space travelers--including one woman--bounce around the shuttle's cabin and suit up for extra vehicular tasks while back on Earth, a young girl eagerly tracks the flight on television. While in the claim that heavy equipment--even the 12-ton Hubble telescope--can be lifted in space, Branley oversimplifies the effects of inertia and momentum, his choice of detail about conditions in space will surprise and delight readers.
內容簡介
Have you ever dreamed of being an astronaut? Wondered what it might be like to see the sun set sixteen times in one day?
Open this book and be transported on an information-packed voyage aboard the space shuttle. True Kelley's kid-friendly diagrams and illustrations and Franklyn Branley's straightforward text reveal what astronauts eat, how they move, and what kinds of work they do in space.

最後,在比較各種捕鼠神器後,我決定先買粘鼠闆做個試驗。收貨當晚,我便在它們時常齣沒的飄窗颱麵角落裏布設一張,在廚房空氣能熱水器筒體旁布設一張,在書房不常用的椅子下布設一張,還在孩子的房間書架下不顯眼處布設一張。然後,我還在每個粘鼠闆上放兩顆花生米。爾等不是聰明得很,不輕易上當嗎?我就全將陷阱布設在不起眼的地方。
