A Chilling Story: How Things Cool Down

A Chilling Story: How Things Cool Down
By: Eve and Albert Stwertka
Illustrated by: Mena Dolobowsky

This was probably one of my least favorite books that I've read. It was hard to stay awake when reading it. The illustrations I felt were very blah. Black and white makes a book almost feel like any old textbook as opposed to a good book. The information was kind of dry and explained in a way that wasn't very appealing to readers. The one thing I did like about this book was how it had important terms in bold. It then went on to explain what these terms mean. The book also contains a glossary in the back that was helpful. I wouldn't recommend this book for useful information. This would be a book that I consider to be more for leisure reading than anything. I feel that children might get bored very easily with this book.
