Charging About: The Story of Electricity (Science Works) Paperback – 5 July 2004

Great book. Simple story of hydroelectric electricity from dam to delivery at home. Sat and read book to my 9 yr old and 5 yr old sons. Not too complicated for 5 yr old not to understand the story and not too childish for 9 yr. We had fun reading story of electricity which is well decribed supported with good pictures for first time learners of the subject. The 5 yrs old got the story and I learnt one or two things ....and I'm an engineer I'm embarrased to say. Would recommend.

Great book for a ten year old. I bought this for my nephew and I read through it before sending it to him. It is amazing, lovely pictures describing the different stages and functions of electricity in an easy to understand way. There are other books similar that I would like to buy to add to this book to make up a nice colllection. Great educational book but also fun and quite mature looking book.

Easy to read, entertaining and informative. Its helped develop passion for understanding how things work in my 8 year old.

bought for a Year 4 Topic and the child found it very helpful. Nice and lively layout - making the subject interesting.

Great book for the young child who has to do science about electricity at school. A very in-depth look at where and how we use electricity...Got this for our 7 year old granddaughter as she was doing this project at school..

my 6 year old son loves this book. brought alongside snap circuits to try to explain electricity. easy for him to understand and he now tells everyone he knows how electric works.

Really nice book to own, very engaging

Excellent explanations of electricity- hydro. Very useful for class project- Keystage 2. I recommend this book.

Full of interesting facts and details, it's explained simply so even little ones can understand.We have already got monster stone and sun up sun down. Totally recommended
