Lab magic

Ty and Corey are brothers who love science, so their mother takes them to a museum where they explore the butterfly garden, dig for fossils, and play with boats. The only hiccup in the visit is that Ty isn't big enough to enter the science lab, but his disappointment is forgotten when they get home and his parents set up a science lab in the kitchen. Wearing goggles and their father's white shirts as lab coats, the boys dive into a series of experiments. Designated as a My First I Can Read! book, this engaging reader is intended for shared reading. The colorful illustrations match the storytelling well and capture the boys' imaginations and enthusiasm for science. Starring a Black family, this installment in the Geisel-winning Ty's Travels series adds some much-needed diversity to the beginning-reader shelf.
