Product Description
Did you ever walk through a wall? Drink a glass of blocks? Have you ever played with a lemonade doll, or put on milk for socks? This latest addition to the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series introduces the youngest readers to an important science concept: the differences between solids, liquids, and gases. Any child who wants to know why he can't walk through a wall will enjoy Kathleen Zoehfeld's simple text and Paul Meisel's playful illustrations. |

Great discussion starter for young children by Lady Atana (Atlanta, MO USA)  5 Stars
May 07, 2009
After reading this to my daughter last night, we engaged in a 30 minute long game of "Solid, Liquid, or Gas?" The book does a great job of explaining the states of matter. For the "Try It Yourself" sections it, of course, uses water for a test subject, going through freezing, evaporation, and condensation. I had to promise that we would do the experiments today.
Once again, I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to teach their young children about basic science.

More Bohr propaganda by Northern Man (The Frosty North)  4 Stars
October 24, 2008
While this book has some great information but it really shows the "Bohrist" bias. I mean I can understand that they leave out plasmas and superheated ion clouds and other things for sake of simplicity. I can agree with this.
But there's a whole other side to this issue. Dark Matter and dark energy. It's not exactly a minority, I mean there's actually more of it by some counts that
so called "true matter". Yet books like these treat this group like it doesn't even exist. That seems slightly racist to me.
Maybe Dark matter would become more relevant if the media would stop diminishing this group's accomplishments. For example their gravitational fields have allow for focusing of light to view distant galaxies. They are treated like they don't even exist :(

Very cute story!!! by Jason McAllister (Ashland, KY) 5 Stars
October 14, 2008
I ordered this book to read in my science education class. It is a fantastic science trade book full of funny ideas and neat experiments that kids could do.
The service was fantastic! I received the book in 2 days! Great purchase!

Great Introduction by A. Badurina (NH, USA) 5 Stars
September 29, 2008
Great introduction to these concepts for young kids. I had already explored the different states of water with my 6 year old, but it was nice to be able to reinforce that process. My son often said, "I already know that" for the basic concepts, but I felt that the specific examples of the different states of all types of matter were very helpful in getting him to understand that there's an order to the way things work. By the end of it, he really enjoyed the book. Don't miss the three exercises at the end of the book - they are fun activities that make learning science hands-on.

Wonderful teaching tool! by amynicole902 (Northern Virginia) 5 Stars
October 25, 2007
My son received this when he was almost 4, and understood the concepts of solid, liquid, and gases by 4.5yo! This describes the concepts in such a way that youngsters can easily understand, but won't bore older children. I would highly recommend this book, along with other books in the "Let's-Read-And-Find-Out Science" series.
