this is an excellent literature connection for young children studying the concept of matter. it works well with the foss science module, "solids and liquids" for students in grades one and two.

This book is an excellent way to introduce solids, liquids, and gases. I used it with a 3rd grade class and it was perfect!

My son received this when he was almost 4, and understood the concepts of solid, liquid, and gases by 4.5yo! This describes the concepts in such a way that youngsters can easily understand, but won't bore older children. I would highly recommend this book, along with other books in the "Let's-Read-And-Find-Out Science" series.

I have a 6-yr old boy and a 7-yr old girl. It's very rare to find anything that they agree on but with What Is the World Made Of? I was able to find a book that both of them would enjoy and learn from at the same time. The easy-to-follow language made it easy for them both to follow along. The fun pictures and odd bits of humor kept them interested and wanting to know more. A fantastic find & one I hope to be able to use for quite some time.

After reading this to my daughter last night, we engaged in a 30 minute long game of "Solid, Liquid, or Gas?" The book does a great job of explaining the states of matter. For the "Try It Yourself" sections it, of course, uses water for a test subject, going through freezing, evaporation, and condensation. I had to promise that we would do the experiments today.

Once again, I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to teach their young children about basic science.

Ordered this for my son's 6th birthday and he really enjoyed it! It's great at explaining it at a "kid level" and he giggled througout the book!

My 3 year old (she's reading early), really enjoys the book. The activities detailed (especially those using water to demonstrate the various states of matter) were easy for her to follow (with help). I highly recommend this book for parents that want to give their child an easy primer on the states of matter.

There are a lot of these little books and they all are very well done. Our kids love the idea of getting to know about SCIENCE. The 7th grade teachers I work with even use it with their kids in Science class. Try From Tadpole to Frog (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1).

As I am adding product links I see that Amazon has over 600 titles in this series listed

I have a very bright 4 year old. After reading this book once, she understood the concept of solids, liquids and gasses. We boiled water, made ice.... Cute, but for really smart kids, maybe to simple.

I bought this book last year for my son when he was 4yrs old. He really enjoyed the book and very soon learned the 3-states of matter. I think the colorful pictures as well as the interesting stories held his attention. This book is a must buy.
