Very good condition color illustrated boards. Profusely illustrated with full-color drawings and color illustrated front and rear endpapers. Some peeling of thin clear veneer at spine (see photographs) and light rubbing to board tips. All pages are in fine unmarked condition and the spine /binding is exceedingly tight and square (see photographs). "Science Tells How and Why. Wherever you look outdoors, you see things that make you wonder. You look up and wonder why the sky is blue. Why does the sun shine? What makes the clouds? And what makes it rain? You look down on the ground and wonder. Where does the dirt come from? Why are there stones in it? Why are some stones smooth while others are rough? In front of you and in back of you are big and little plants. You wonder how they grow. You wonder about the big and little animals that hide among their leaves. How do they eat? How do they sleep? Where do they go when winter comes? This book will help you find the answers to all these questions. For it is a science book about animals and plants and the earth and sky. In science you find out how and why. You watch things carefully and you do experiments. You do not guess. You check ideas to make sure they are right. This book tells you how to check some ideas all by yourself." -- from the first page.…

Store description
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
