(4) K-3 Science World series. These books offer, respectively, basic descriptions and explanations about the nature and behavior of electricity, force and resistance, gravity, and sound.

A few statements in Gravity are incorrect or misleading, but, otherwise, the books provide adequate introductions to these physical phenomena. Bib., glos., ind.
