Sad to see this book end. While reading it to my 7yr old, my 10yr old daughter would always listen with one ear open while she was supposed to be reading her own school books. I can't rave enough about it! It engaged us in true stories of missionaries across the globe throughout many centuries of time. It demostrates...

This books teaches about matter, and goes into detail about solids, liquids, and gases.

School Library Journal astutely noted the liberal use of "happy colors" in this book: soothing shades of green, pink, blue and yellow.
