Stacy McAnulty & Planetary Humor (Plus Giveaway!)

Kids are natural scientists, yet somewhere along the way the subject of “science” becomes a snoozer for many of them. Maybe because there’s less opportunity for discovery and wonder as they get older, and more focus on facts and data. Doing science is fun, but reading about it can get a little dull.

But science-y books don’t have to be dull. One way to liven things up is to add humor, as author Stacy McAnulty does in her new book Earth: My First 4.54 Billion Years (Henry Holt, illustrated by David Litchfield). You can read my interview with Stacy—and win a copy of the book—over at PictureBookBuilders. Stop by and leave a comment there by April 25th for a chance to win.

Thanks for reading, and Happy Earth Day!
