K-3Everyday Earth Science series.
Each volume asks and answers three or four questions about earth science, from straightforward ("What Is a Cloud?") to potentially complex ("What Is Light?"). None of the answers, however, moves beyond the simplest definition. The accompanying photographs and diagrams vary in quality; some help explain the concepts, while others are merely decorative. A hands-on activity is included in each book. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Everyday Earth Science titles: What Makes It Rain?, What Is the Difference Between Clouds and Fog?, What Causes a Rainbow?, What Makes the Sky Blue?, What Is a Solstice?, and Why Does Earth Have Seasons?
