I'm a Neutrino by Dr. Eve M. Vavagiakis and Ills Lemesis - NO

I'm a Neutrino: tiny particles in a big universe by Dr. Eve M. Vavagiakis, illustrated by Ills Lemesis.
PICTURE BOOK/NON FICTION. MIT Kids Press (Candlewick), 2022. $19. 9781536222074

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - NO

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Meet the neutrino - a mysterious, but essential, particle that scientists still understand little about.

Unfortunately, the book is written in rhyme. Such a silly type of writing for a subject that could have been interesting. While I liked the illustrator's personification of neutrinos in the art, the rhyming text offers very little - all of the heavy lifting is done by the few facts included in the back matter. Can I get a redo on this one?
