Quick Summary

From the moment a curious child asks what makes a rock feel hard or why water splashes, this book jumps in to show that everything around them is made of tiny building blocks called matter. The bright, real-world photos and easy-to-do mini-activities let kids see solids, liquids, and gases up close, turning every page into a tiny science lab. If your kid likes the quick, picture-filled lessons of "The Magic School Bus" or the simple explanations in "National Geographic Little Kids", they will zoom right into this guide to matter. It works best for early readers ages 5-7, roughly kindergarten through second grade, who are just starting to explore the world of science.
