“Cheer for Chlorine! is a very fun book that taught me things I never knew in my entire life! Chlorine helps make the ocean salty, and it can be a green and yellow gas. I like the pictures, especially the swimming pool. It was a lot of fun for me and for my sister. My mom loved the quiz at the back of the book. It’s a really cool book. I think the author should write even more books like this for me to read.”
—Max B., Age eight
