**Color Uncovered**
This is an interactive book about light, colors, and optical illusions. Each page includes an interactive activity with results that probably are not predictable for most fifth graders. It also includes an explanation of each of the activities so that students can learn why they got the results that they got. With this book, students can learn why we see some optical illusions, what colors some animals see, how foods are colored, how color was used in art during parts of history, meanings of different colors, how the color of light affects the way things appear, why it's hard to see color in the dark, and how iPads show colors. These topics work well with my fifth grade light unit. This book can easily be used with the other centers I use for the light unit.

Lunchbox Solutions
This is a book about children and healthy eating. After recently being diagnosed with a health issue directly related to nutrition, I am currently very interested in both topics in the book. The book includes a section about the effects that food has on our bodies, tips for getting children to eat healthy foods, lunch ideas, and resources. My daughter is at a stage where she wants to eat peanut butter and jelly for lunch every single day, and I hope this book will help me to break her of this notion. After learning how much of an impact the food we eat has on us, I look forward to reading this book and using the guides, videos, and other resources.
