kailey_luminouslibro's review against another edition
4.0
Acadia is a little girl full of questions. Why are there different time zones? How do frogs breathe? Where does rain come from? Why do leaves change color? How does my body fight off germs? With the help of her scientist parents, Acadia and her friends are determined to go out in the world and find answers.
I loved this interesting book! Acadia is such a cute character, and she asks really detailed and important questions. I liked that Acadia's mom is a central character, always ready with some guidance towards a solid scientific answer.
The illustrations are adorable, done in a notebook style, as Acadia writes in her science journal. The pictures do a wonderful job of explaining the simple science behind water cycles, and frog lungs, time zones, and chlorophyll in plants.
This would be the perfect book for a young scientist, or for any kid with lots of questions!

A shiny red envelope arrived in the mail several months ago.
Inside was a lovely box.
And inside that box? The Acadia Files: Book Two, Autumn Science
Acadia Green explores her world---cleaning up a nearby pond, studying the changing color of the leaves, thinking about time zones, and analyzing the role of dinosaur pee in the water cycle---using the scientific method and keeping a science journal.
It's a very fresh take on an early chapter book. A delight.
