I LOVE IT!
I actually bought this book for my sister to read. It's a great book. The age level is perfect for the younger readers like my sister to read and gain more knowledge about the occurrence of the rainbow. I'd find this book very educational and supportive. Science is involved into this book and I feel that it's nice to know the basic things. My sister did enjoy reading this book and she kept it in a safe place. I hope that other readers will find this book beneficial because not a lot teachers would talk or teach about rainbows at school. I think most of the students have no idea how a rainbow is formed and so this book can actually help them learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!

I read this with my daughter (age 6) for our color/rainbow unit in our homeschool. She loved this book!
This is an excellent add on science book for young children. The book is small with big font for beginning readers. Short in length, however, very informative to children. The pictures are wonderful, mostly real life pictures. Gave my daughter a good science lesson on how rainbows are formed (bending light). I also love how this book talks very briefly about Sir Isaac Newton.
Overall, Read About Science reader All the Colors of the Rainbow is wonderful, if you are looking for a interesting book about rainbows that is not too hard, however, not dumbed down for a 5 to 8 year old.

This book for young school-aged children provides a very nice explanation of rainbows and prisms and the nature of light. I sent this book to my grandchildren (ages 4 and 6) in San Diego who will likely never see a rainbow where they live. I sent it along with two hanging prisms so that they could make their own rainbows. It was a nice companion gift and their Mom reports that it made a big hit.

4.0 out of 5 stars all the colors of the rainbow
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2011

This book was purchased for my four year old daughter's fourth birthday to go with the Over the Rainbow book and CD. She is a very precocious four year old and wanted a unicorns and rainbow birthday. She loves to learn all the science behind stories and this book fits the bill. It is a very small paperback (to be expected for the price), but is enough on her level to understand its concepts. Should last her many years in the future. The company mailed it in a timely fashion and the shipping cost more than the book, but its worth it for her enjoyment.

5.0 out of 5 stars 虹が七色なのは日本だけ？
Reviewed in Japan on December 7, 2014
Verified Purchase
自然現象による美しい事象に殊更の興味を持つ私たち日本人。
オーロラにこれほどの憧れを持って「見たい」と望むのは日本人ばっかり（と言っても言い過ぎではないようです）だと知っていましたか？
南米ボリビアのウユニ塩湖に旅する他国の一般人はどれくらいいるのでしょうか？

「美」に対する高い審美眼と憧れはどうやら日本人に特有のものらしいです。
もちろん他国にも同じような資質を持つ人はいますし、日本にも興味のない人もいますが、全体的に見てということです。

虹が出ているとついつい空を見上げてしまいます。
その虹についてなぜ、さまざまな色に見えるのかなど科学的なことなどを説明しています。
そして、虹は七色という日本の常識は、他国の常識ではないようです。
同じ虹を見て、感じることが異なるのは面白いですね。

私が一番驚いたのは、二重虹の外側の虹は色の重なりが反転しているという部分です。
二重虹を見る機会は少ないですが、今度出会ったら是非確認してみたいです。

The book provides good information in an age appropriate way. It has answered many of the WHY questions that a four year old tends to come up with. We have enjoyed reading and talking about the information together.
