About this title

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 4--Raindrops. . . is a book which is an extension of the ubiquitous questions children ask, with ideas for trying out experiments and then relating them to bigger scenes. From a glass of water in the sun to clouds and from a color wheel to rainbows, relationships are clearly and simply developed between the small and the large. The Starry Sky is a first-class introduction to rotation of the earth, night and day, planets and stars, and phases of the moon. Some experiments such as the use of a button to show the unchanging size of the moon, and the dippers drawn inside an umbrella to show the rotation of the earth and the constellations are vivid and useful. In both books, the writing style is appropriate for young readers , and can be read aloud to preschoolers. The illustrations are beautiful and are, for the most part, accurate. --Elizabeth Morrissett, Alaska Pacific University, Anchorage
