From Booklist:
Gr. 3-6. Each attractive spread in this picture book-size title in the Science World series introduces a wide range of basic concepts about Earth. Illustrated with cross-section diagrams and crisp color photographs, the text discusses Earth's structure, movement, surface formations, resources, atmosphere, and seasonal shifts, as well as its evolutionary history, shown in a creative diagram that emphasizes how humans fit within the context of Earth's time line. Well-chosen examples add interest to the brief but informative text, and a step-by-step project (a model solar system), a fact page, and glossary complete the package. Also consider additional series titles, which include Light & Lasers, Electricity & Magnetism, and Structure & Materials. Gillian Engberg
