Read it as a Child

I was a kid when my father bought this for me. I was so excited that I read it over and over again (or about as much as any 5-year old could read) and loved every moment of it. It inspired me to get into Astronomy and other sciences and remains to be a vivid root for all my fascination with nature. I had other books from this series but this one stands out as my all time most favorite book ever. I am now 22-years old in my last year of college and going to be a science teacher for grade schoolers. It would be a precious thing for me to get this for when I start teaching to share the same inspiration I received from it so long ago. I wish I still had my original copy despite all the scribbles and tears it probably had but I am willing to settle for a copy at this point.

great book for kindergarten age

This is a great text on natural science facts and principles for the 5-year-old range. Unlike many other such series, which are meant for older children, this book uses simple language. Chapters (each only a single pagespread) are organized around questions, such as, "Why Can't We See Stars During Daytime?" with a table of contents for easy navigation. The book uses colorful diagrams, cartoon illustrations and captioned photos to explain subject matter. Especially helpful are the notes to the parent on each topic.
