5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for science-minded children, November 1, 2007

By	Dr. M (Farmington, ME United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Wonder Why the Wind Blows: And Other Questions About Our Planet (Paperback)

This book is very useful for children who ask a lot of earth science questions. In fact the whole series of these books is quite nice. I've used them successfully with preschoolers through elementary school age children. The books are not designed as "sit down at group time and read to the class," but in small groups or one-on-one, they work very well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, June 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: I Wonder Why the Wind Blows: And Other Questions About Our Planet (Hardcover)

This book is written for children, I'm 31 and while reading with my son I learned things I didn't know! I recommend it to any parent.
