Beginning to End: Wax to Crayon

“Wax to Crayon” takes students on a journey to discover how colorless wax is transformed into one of their favorite school supplies! Reading this book is like taking a field trip to a crayon factory, where students can explore the fascinating machines involved in the process. Part of a series that explains how everyday items are made, this book features photographs that vividly illustrate each step, making it both educational and enjoyable for students.

The book includes several helpful text features, such as a table of contents, headings, labels, bold words, a glossary, a map, and an index. It’s designed for primary students, with just 1-3 short sentences on each page.

This book is an excellent tool for teaching students about processes. On page 19, it provides a simple diagram that recaps each step, making it easy to understand.

I recommend adding this book to your library collection.
