The Code of Life: All About Genes, DNA, Genetic Engineering, and Why You Are the Way You Are by Carla Häfner, Mieke Scheier
informative
slow-paced
5.0
This is a strong informational book about genes, DNA, and genetic engineering. Though there is a lot of text on each page, the illustrations, questions, and connection between each section make it an engaging book for readers.
I love that there are questions for the readers to solve mixed in with the information text, allowing readers to apply what they have just learned. There are many strong graphics to support the text, as well.
The back matter is fun, encouraging readers to conduct their own experiments and sharing the answers to the questions asked earlier in the book.
