About This Book

Reach for this book when your child starts asking why the birdbath is hard on a winter morning or how a tray of water magically becomes cubes in the freezer. It is a perfect choice for those early moments of scientific discovery when a child is first noticing the physical properties of the world around them. This book provides a clear, step by step explanation of how temperature changes liquid water into solid ice. Through simple text and vibrant imagery, it builds a foundation for scientific thinking and vocabulary. It is particularly well suited for children ages 4 to 6 who are transitioning from observing their environment to wanting to understand the 'how' and 'why' behind natural phenomena. You will appreciate how it validates their natural curiosity and provides a sense of accomplishment as they master a core concept of the natural world.
