Each volume in the STEAM Tales series (2 titles) offers a famous title that has been adapted for younger readers and studded with informational features and engaging science activities that relate to the story in some way. The books feature shortened, simplified retellings, wide-spaced lines of type within the narrative sections, and colorful digital illustrations of scenes from the stories as well as dozens of STEAM-related sidebars and hands-on projects. While many of the relatively simple projects are available elsewhere, they have become favorites because they are easy to set up, dependable, and fun. Alice in Wonderland presents a simplified retelling of Alice's imaginative journey and her encounters with strange characters, while providing a taste of Carroll's talent for wordplay and absurdity. Activities include making an origami Cheshire Cat's head and "levitating" paper clips with Lego blocks and magnets. A "Discover" page in this volume uses trapeze artists to illustrate the difference between kinetic and potential energy. This literary series will appeal to kids with far-ranging curiosity about STEAM-related topics.
