Reviews for Spark, Shine, Glow!: What a Light Show

“Rhyming text and colorful illustrations explore different types of light as well as its various scientific properties. Familiar light sources—sun, flashlights, fireworks—are paired with more unusual ones, such as bioluminescent sea creatures and the aurora borealis, to demonstrate the range found in the world. . . . The book’s greatest strengths are in the questions it will prompt.” — School Library Journal
