Mole and Tell (Celebrating Science)

Mole and Tell: the title makes you think it is going to be show and tell but with a mole. However, in this interesting book we learned that mole has many homophones. There are many homophones for mole such as the animal, the skin lesion, and finally, the one this book talks about, which is a scientific measurement. I will tell you that before reading this book I had no idea that a mole was a scientific measurement. The very diverse classroom is about to learn why the day October 23 is so important to scientists all over the world as well as create their own experiments as to replicate measuring moles.

While the idea of the book was a good one, I found the text to be very dry and drawn out. It was incredibly repetitive and hard to read. The characters were very diverse and hopefully this is a book many readers can relate too. I did think it was cool I learned about a new scientific measurement, but the book was just very hard to keep interested in to keep reading.
