(4) 4-6 Enjoy Your Cells series. Illustrated by Mic Rolph. While each book in this series has a different focus, both describe what human genes and DNA are, how they work to determine individual characteristics, and how similar in structure and function they are to the genes and DNA of other creatures. Despite color-enhanced micrographs, cartoon illustrations, and conversational prose, the complex material is incompletely conveyed. [Review covers these Enjoy Your Cells titles: Gene Machines and Have a Nice DNA.]
