Anyone that lives in Seattle is familiar with liquid sunshine (otherwise known as rain), and while the rainy days, Liquid sunshine or not does on occasion make things a little extra dark and dreary. The positive side, the little extra liquid sunshine, is that we get a few extra rainbows after the liquid sunshine departs. And if you have a curious kid in your house, like I sometimes do (visiting nephews) and live in Seattle. You probably hear "how does a rainbow work?" Or "what makes a rainbow have so many pretty colors?" Or some variation of the same question, and while it is possible to look up a satisfactory answer for the question from the Internet I have recently discovered the wonderful kurious presents series of books for answering all of my nephews, inexhaustible resource of questions.Unlike the Internet, these little scientific books are tangible he really likes turning the pages and the like even more than he can store them on his own personal bookshelf either in my house or his, he feels grown-up because he has his own personal "library" which he can access any time he likes these books have just the right amount of information. Usually anywhere from 24 to 42 pages filled with excellent full-color pictures to a visual understanding, as well as information and fun facts that are easy for curious kids and future scientists to understand, although occasionally this does lead to more questions for the most part, by the time he finishes reading the book (usually with a little help) is satisfied with the answer and stop asking the question. Instead he tells people what he learned from the curious kid. These books are an invaluable resource for anyone with small children.
