With scientific literacy now a necessity rather than a luxury, children's science books have taken on a new importance. James Trefil introduces Nature's first children's books supplement with a review of some recent reference volumes*. Where possible, details of availability and price in the United States and the United Kingdom are given throughout the supplement. All readers should check prices before ordering.
