BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Isabel just wants one thing for her sixth birthday - to be able to see invisible things. Her scientist mother is able to deliver just such a gift!

The story is simple, including a few sweet relationships, a touch of suspense and a quick basic STEM lesson. Back matter gives additional scientific information, still in simple terms for children to understand. The illustrations are warm and richly colored. The small cast of characters is diverse.
