“What Is a Laser?”
When I saw that book in the elementary school library it was a revelation: There are books explaining the cool mysterious stuff like that! And written for kids to understand!
I think that one book is a big part of what sent me on the path to geekdom.
It wasn’t technically my first nonfiction science book, which would be “Our Friend the Atom” but I wasn’t old enough to actually read that when I had it (probably got destroyed before I could). I liked the pictures though.
