New ed. (1986, Crowell)
(4) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Edward Miller. Branley's text is updated with illustrations featuring a retro-style scientist dude and his dog. The clear and straightforward explanations demystify concepts such as weight and force using terminology accessible to younger readers. The illustrations inject liveliness into this challenging topic, but they distract from the excellent content and include a few inaccuracies. A page of gravity facts and an activity are appended.
