About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child starts asking big 'how' and 'why' questions about the physical world, like why puddles disappear or how water turns into ice. "States in My World" provides clear, simple answers by introducing the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Using vibrant, real-world photography and easy-to-read text, it explains these core scientific concepts in a way that is accessible and engaging for early elementary readers. It's a perfect choice for nurturing a child's natural curiosity and building foundational science vocabulary, turning everyday observations into exciting learning opportunities.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward, secular, and factual introduction to a core science concept.
Ideal Reader
An inquisitive 7- or 8-year-old who has just started asking questions about their physical environment. This child is a hands-on learner who is beginning to read informational texts independently and would be thrilled to see a concept like a melting popsicle explained scientifically.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed to read the book. However, a parent might want to preview the simple experiment on page 22 (observing evaporation) and gather the necessary materials (cups, water, marker) to do the activity after reading. A child asks, "Where did the puddle go?" after a sunny day, or "Why is the glass 'sweating'?" The parent is looking for a resource that offers a simple, visual, and accurate explanation that they can explore together.
