Illustrated by
Julia Gorton.
Cobb uses a familiar experience--the push of wind on children and objects--to develop the concept of air being made of molecules. An interactive format guides adults and children through activities using common household objects; the text features well-posed questions and succinct explanations. The inventive layout and playful illustrations are a convincing invitation to investigate the science behind everyday experience.
