About this title

About the Author:

Franklyn M. Branley was Astronomer Emeritus and Chairman of the American Museum-Hayden Planetarium. In 1960 he originated the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series, dedicated to explaining science to young children and encouraging them to explore their world. Dr. Branley wrote over 150 science books for children.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-2 More visually appealing than the 1962 edition, this revision includes discussions of the weight of air and of the fact that spaceships have to take air with them as they fly above the air. The major deletion is that air is not found in packed tin cans. Both editions describe the properties of air and offer two simple experiments to prove that air takes up space and that air is dissolved in water. Illustrations in both bold and pastel colors are coordinated with the easy-to-read text and make this an eye-pleasing and informative book. Alice Arnett , Greenwood Elementary School, Louisville, Ky.
