âAs Michael Allen points out, old misconceptions seldom die while new ones are conceived daily. He has made an excellent job of refreshing this fourth editionâ¦ It is so much more than a collection of fascinating conceptual ''butterflies'', it is a carefully detailed window onto some of children''s science-based thinking.â
Mike Watts, Professor of Education, Brunel University, UK
