From dust jacket flap: "This is a "Gloop" (shows illustration of a "gloop"). If you would like to work and learn as a scientist does, then follow through "Light and Sound". Have you ever wondered why you look so funny when you see yourself in the fender of a car? Or, why some shadows are large and some are small? You can find out about the world of light and sight from mirrors, water, lightbulbs or even your mother's cookie sheet."...Marvelous educational book for children. Illustrated throughout by Tomie de Paola. Recommended for children from kindergarten through third grade.

Mind webs, also known as spidergrams or mind maps, are great for learning about the science of light and sound. In this book you can find out how light travels, what sound waves are, how your eyes can see and which light and sound inventions have changed the world. With more than 200 illustrations showing how light and sound work, this series is perfect for visual learners. The Mind Webs series are great revision tools for students at Key Stage 2, and are also excellent for gaining a clearer understanding of how science works.

Light and sound have been studied for a long time. With that knowledge, people have created such important things as telescopes, microscopes, cameras, telephones, radio, television, tape recorders, lasers, compact discs, and MP3 players. For more information on light and sound, read All About Light and Sound, another book in the Mission: Science series.
