What materials will keep you dry on a rainy day? What materials will help you clean up a spill? Child-friendly examples and vibrant photographs support readers as they explore how different materials respond to liquids. From School Library Journal: K-Gr 1—These introductions to science cover the most basic of information in ways that young readers will find easy and fun. Colorful designs with a large, readable font and tons of fun photos featuring young children in action are easy on the eyes, while the content is broken down into bite-size portions, ideal for those new to such concepts as density or absorpency. The titles all start off the same way: with a brief definition of "matter," "mass," and "property." Concise explanations ("Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass"; "Mass is the amount of material in an object") are ideal for readers with a limited science background. Short and sweet, these are solid overviews. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
