I’M A NEUTRINO teaches children about the tiny particles in the universe that children don’t realize exist. Before going into detail about them, the author gives the reader a background of what makes up matter and electrons and protons. This is a great introduction to physics for young readers.
The illustrations are a blast of vibrant colors that are stunning. My little girl loves the depiction of the neutrinos, stating they’re cute, and she enjoys counting them. I like how in the back of the book there’s a “Know Your Neutrinos” section and it offers more information about them. Like how neutrinos can’t be seen by the naked eye and the illustrations are for fun. If children enjoy this book, there’s a section that gives suggestions for more reading.
Final Verdict: I’M A NEUTRINO is perfect for children while enjoy science and learning about matters that make up the universe. This is an enjoyable children's book that both teaches and entertains.
