Even listeners with no curiosity about nanoscience will enjoy hearing Imogen Wilde narrate this nonfiction picture book. NANO explains the atomic makeup of common items, the instruments used to study nano materials, and the possibilities for creativity and careers in the field of nanoscience. Wilde expresses enthusiasm and an interest in the topic. She has a strong UK accent and a voice that is both youthful and rough--an interesting combination that commands attention. Music plays throughout and changes to suit the mood--sometimes suggesting the infinitesimal and sometimes suggesting exciting possibilities. References to images in the print book--for example, a pot made of plastic, which is described as being made from carbon and hydrogen--are not too distracting and don't disrupt the flow of the narrative.
