Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-The well-known science writer explains the properties and characteristics of wind in an easy-to-read format. The writing is clear and the explanations are age-appropriate. "Air is made of a gazillion tiny balls floating in space. These balls are so small that they can't be seen. They have to be imagined." The crisp graphic artwork brings the wind to life. A young girl gets pushed by it, has her umbrella turned inside out, watches leaves shake on a tree, and engages in lots of other activities that illustrate the movement of air. The topic lends itself well to experimentation and Cobb offers youngsters several demonstrations-some with objects and some as simple as blowing out one's breath-that can be used successfully at home or in the classroom. This is a simple introduction for those kids who always want to know the "why" behind even the most mundane events.

PreS-K. From the Science Play series, this colorful volume encourages children to observe, experiment, and learn about wind and air. The digital illustrations are eye-catching, and the combination of information and experimentation is engaging. However, in trying to present things that cannot be seen and are difficult to describe, such as molecules and air, the text sometimes simplifies too much: "Air is real stuff." The book's strength is the same as that of the previous books in the series, which takes into account the active learning style of young children. Carolyn Phelan
