A well-conceived series that introduces scientific principles clearly and simply, making learning what it should be--intriguing. The books are attractive in format; they have bright, clear photographs, presented in an appealing, easy-to-hold size. All are aimed at capturing young children's interest by examining various everyday objects from a variety of perspectives. Balloons are tossed, touched, squeezed, and filled with water. Escaping air is heard. Mirrors provide many ingenious activities, not only reflecting images, but light as well. Nancy and Ron Goor's Shadows (Crowell, 1981) explores many of the same aspects of shadows, but is illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Feathers are shown to exist in various sizes and colors; some shed water, but all share common physical characteristics. Appended to each book are additional activities, along with further explanatory notes for parents and teachers. Sure to stimulate children's critical thinking abilities. --Phyllis G.
