Keeping the very youngest of scientists in mind, Cobb gives clear explanations to the big questions about wind. Young readers and adults can explore the basic scientific principles together through simple experiments. Full color.
Vicki Cobb continues her Science Play series with I Face the Wind, illus. by Julia Gorton. Beginning with a girl facing a strong wind, basic observations teach the properties of air to budding scientists. The mood is playful but the facts are specific and focused and Cobb includes experiments eminently doable by the preschool set. The digital artwork uses bold forms and creative typography to keep the tone breezy. Copyright 2003 Publishers Weekly Used with permission.
