K-3Exploring Sound series.
The physics of sound, including pitch, frequency, vibration, and speed, are clearly and cleanly explained. The texts are aided by many color photos, diagrams, sidebars, and captions, though some busy spreads aren't designed well.

Review covers these Exploring Sound titles: Making Noise! and Why Can't I Hear That?.
