What's Hot and What's Not‪?‬

What's Hot and What's Not? is a fun science book, written in rhyme for 6-12 year olds. But it is also more wide ranging: With adult assistance, younger children can learn through the pictures and rhyming. In addition, teen-aged and adult readers can enjoy the presentation and discover new things. The storyline revolves around Mary Mott, who likes things that are hot, and Barry Bold, who likes cold. Readers learn that energy naturally flows from hot to cold, and about temperatures from the extremely hot sun to the coldest limit called "absolute zero." They also learn that refrigerators have both hot and cold parts, ice cubes can disappear, and a lot more! The book ends with a Summary and a Surprise. A Glossary clarifies unfamiliar words and will help readers increase their vocabularies.
