Overview
" ' What was your favorite book as a child?' In more than 10 years of facilitating workshops, we have never heard anyone reply, ' My fourth-grade science textbook.' Clearly, textbooks have an important place in the science classroom, but using trade books to supplement a textbook can greatly enrich students' experience." -- from Teaching Science Through Trade Books
