Why you should read this book: In heroic couplets, this book discusses the general qualities and behaviors of tiny particles known as neutrinos, while also explaining that we don't know very much about them and encouraging children to pursue careers in physics to solve some of the mysteries presented. The text itself is extremely basic, suitable for very young readers, and the illustrations are likewise dynamic and appealing. Three pages of notes at the end actually explain all the concepts and illustrations much better than the book itself manages.
Why you shouldn't read this book: It's cute but insubstantial; I'm not sure kids in the intended age group could possibly get anything out of it, and once you're old enough to grasp subatomic particle physics, this book might be a bit young for you.
