Each year the editorial staff at SB&F looks forward to publishing our annual "Best Science Books for Children." The reasons for this are threefold: First, because we believe that identifying high-quality books in the sciences for librarians, teachers, parents, and others who work with children is important; second, it brings back to mind the many good titles we have had a chance to read and to put to our reviewers' test; and third, we have a stake in this arena, too. We have children our own or work with them in out-of-school programs, in schools and libraries, and in other community-based activities. We hope that these children will benefit from the good acquisitions and selections that our readers will make in the upcoming year.

As many readers know, SB&F believes that many of the same components that make a good children's book make a good children's science book: the presentation, the organization, the language, and the quality of illustrations. In addition, high-quality science books must also be accurate and present scientific processes in a way that can be understood by a child without misleading oversimplification. Finally, good children's science books should encourage an interest in science by prompting young readers to know more.

Below is a selection of the best children's science books reviewed in the 1998 volume year of SB&F. Books included on this list received a recommended or highly recommended rating from our reviewers.
