Quick Summary
If your little one is just starting to explore the world of science, this is a great little book to toss into the mix. At only 194 words, it doesn't overwhelm young readers, and the simple text meets them right where they are with a 2.1 reading level. What I really like is how it takes something kids already interact with every day like the toys they play with or the food they eat and shows them how to think about those objects as "solids." Jared Siemens' illustrations probably make it easy to follow along, which is huge for kids who get frustrated with busy or confusing pictures. It's the kind of book that works equally well as a classroom read-aloud or a quiet bedtime science moment. If your child enjoys this one, they'd probably like "Liquids" from the same series next, so you could keep the learning going. Parents will appreciate that it's straightforward and educational without being dry or preachy about it.
