Series review: Natures Light ShowRajczak directs readers eyes skyward to observe a variety of phenomena. the variations in layout and inclusion of informative fact boxes and captions make these volumes solid introductions. Clear, well-labeled diagrams help explain topics such as refraction of light through a prism and orbits of comets. Step-by-step reviews of how lightning, rainbows, and auroras form conclude the volumes on those topics, reinforcing what students have just read.School Library Journal
