How Things Work (A Child's First Library of Learning)

Summary: A Great Book For Curious Children!
Review: Time Life's wonderful book "How Things Work" has many answers to satisfy the curiosity and stimulate the minds of inquiring children...and adults also. I bought this for a six year-old cousin and he is absolutely fascinated with it. The book is specifically for kids aged 4 to 8.

Everyone knows that scissors cut. But what makes them cut? And what makes a battery work? Why do things appear backward in a mirror? Great color photographs, cartoons and diagrams explain and illustrate, in understandable and amusing terms, how the natural world works. The book includes notes to parents with detailed information for further discussion. There is also a question and answer section that allows young readers to test their knowledge or record their experiments - like making a pinwheel to understand windmills, or charging a plastic plate with static electricity.

This is an excellent activity book for parents and children and reading it together is a wonderful way to spend quality time.
