(4) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Paul Meisel. Situating her discussion in the context of global warming, Rockwell explains where we get the oil that makes gasoline, how it was formed and refined, and its modern and historical uses. She ends with an emphasis on conservation and alternative energy sources. Meisel's friendly illustrations of people contentedly using up fossil fuels make the situation seem less dire than it really is.
