Janice VanCleave's Play and Find Out About Nature : Easy Experiments for Young Children

Experiments in this text are designed so the adult can lead a young child through the simple steps and help out as necessary.

It includes broad coverage of topics in a style that is easy for young children to understand.

Each topic is introduced with a simple "I Wonder" question that the child might ask, such as "I wonder why leaves are green" and "I wonder how fish breathe".

The experiment then helps the child find the answer.

Complete scientific explanations are provided in an appendix that adults can refer to if they think their child would be interested.

Large, two-color illustrations and the oversize format make the book easy to use with young children.
