<jats:p> "One day, my sister will be bigger than me," a friend's 3-year-old recently announced. "How do you know that?" her mother asked, preparing for a preschooler's take on polygenic inheritance. Leaning in closer, she whispered: "An owl told me." What tickles me about this response is how perfectly it illustrates the creativity and open-mindedness with which children approach the world. Like the best scientists, they tackle the unknown with minimal preconceptions and aren't afraid to employ a little outside-the-box thinking. Helping kids identify the right questions and the best ways to answer them is our happy task, a job made easier by this year's finalists for the Science Books and Films (SB&amp;F) Prizes for Excellence in Science Books. Sponsored by Suburu and AAAS (the publisher of <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> ), this annual competition highlights books that promote science literacy among children and young adults. Read on to see reviews of the finalists written by the staff (and families) of <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> and our sister journals. </jats:p>
