4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but not a comprehensive encyclopedia..., April 18, 2009
This is a well written, well illustrated book that provides a two page spread to discuss topics such as "What is Science?" "Weather", "What Happens to Food?", "Energy", etc... It is a slim volume too, at 64 pages. I think it would be useful to introduce concepts to younger elementary students, and to review concepts with older students, perhaps asking them to elaborate on things they've studied more in-depth.

Also, every two-page spread refers you to one link on the Usborne website. I suppose this is to make sure the links stay current. However, once on the site you have to navigate a menu to find the book you want, or enter key words and page numbers. This is not the most user-friendly system, and the links provided are not very extensive - hardly worth the effort. A user would probably be better off just googling the topic. This should not deter you from purchasing the book, however, it stands quite well on its own (unless the idea of links was the main draw for you).

All in all a very solid 4 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars great resource, October 14, 2008
This book has been looked at and searched through a great deal already. The only thing that was disappointing was the internet link suggestions from within the book. I guess I expected more...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for elementary Science class, September 7, 2008
By Janet Krompier (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I ordered a class set of this book for my Science classroom. It is an excellent resource for my elementary students. We review many areas of science in preparation for our state test that is given to 5th graders. This book supplied the basics and is easy to read.
