Attractive color illustrations and easy-to-follow text combine to present factual information that younger boys and girls will readily absorb and understand. What Are Things Made Of? is one in a series of four entertaining What Do You Know About? books, for very young children. It describes how familiar objects are made from minerals like iron or fashioned from wood or plastic or glass. Four pages presenting activities for children appear at the back of the book, followed by a two-page section for parents, with tips on explaining the subject in more detail.
From the Inside Flap:
(back cover)
Candy is made from sugar, and sugar comes from a plant. Your sweater might be made of sheep s wool, and many bridges are made out of stones. We make things by taking some material directly from nature. Other things are made by artificial materials. Things we use every day are made from all kinds of material wood, paper, metal, glass, wool, cement, and many other materials. But we must always use the right material for each thing we make. Can you imagine the problem we would have if we tried to make this book out of metal? It wouldn t be a very useful book!
