The timely Super Science Feats: Medical Breakthroughs series (4 new titles) not only focuses on topics related to COVID-19 but specifically mentions the virus in each installment. Using large images (including historical photos and stock images) and clear, straightforward text, the books introduce a health problem and explain how scientists problem-solved to address it and how the treatment works. X-Rays tells how this invention was discovered accidentally but solved the problem of being able to see inside the body. What to expect during an x-ray and modern improvements are explained as well. Graphs and labeled images clarify concepts from the text, while short sidebars add interesting facts. Each volume concludes with a hands-on activity that further conveys the book's overall theme. A solid series to help children understand modern health care and practices.
