FROM THE PUBLISHER
‘Branley gives directions with diagrams for two easy experiments that show how air is in everything, including water. Replacement of old editions with this attractive new one is recommended because of the updated, well-presented information as well as for the funny illustrations that help make learning fun.’ —BL.

FROM THE CRITICS
School Library Journal
PreS-2 More visually appealing than the 1962 edition, this revision includes discussions of the weight of air and of the fact that spaceships have to take air with them as they fly above the air. The major deletion is that air is not found in packed tin cans. Both editions describe the properties of air and offer two simple experiments to prove that air takes up space and that air is dissolved in water. Illustrations in both bold and pastel colors are coordinated with the easy-to-read text and make this an eye-pleasing and informative book. Alice Arnett , Greenwood Elementary School, Louisville, Ky.
