Museums have changed significantly in the last decade. Youngsters today may view them as much more than the quiet, dusty storehouses of the past. Their favorite museums may be the ones where they ARE allowed to touch and explore.

The cover of this title in the ‘Kid’s Day Out” series will attract readers. Although the text is informative and accessible for middle elementary, readers may enjoy browsing the interesting photographs of strange objects. Some photos show youngsters at various museums. Brief index, glossary and a short list of books to “Learn More” are included.

This could be used as part of a study of communities, and readers may like to compare their own local museums with those described in the books.
