Editorial Reviews
The description of ... [each] concept being introduced is appropriate for the intended audience and is often presented in a manner that tests children's understanding ... There are too few books like this available for young children. I recommend the “Primary Physical Science” books to parents and to school librarians responsible for adding important books to their library's collection. Highly Recommended.
