Science Library series.
This book provides an introduction to the basic concepts and details of chemistry (e.g., periodic table) and physics (matter and energy); speculative hypotheses such as space-time travel are also briefly explored. Each busy double-page spread includes tidbits of information complemented by many illustrations and cross references; the organization of this British import (metric measurements intact) could be less complicated.

Illustrated by
Tomie dePaola.
A boy tells various farm animals what he'd do if he were like them: "If I were a pig, I'd build you a sty. And we'd dig roots and loaf in the mud." At night, he dreams of his animal friends. First published in black and white, this new edition sports a larger trim size and full-color illustrations redone by dePaola.
