Gr 2-3This is an enormous improve ment over the 1961 edition: less repeti tive, much clearer in presentation and more specific about physical phenome na. However, brevity causes some of the explanations to be oversimplified, and some further explanations may be necessary. The illustrations are better, featuring clear, colorful and sometimes mildly silly scenes that add some play fulness. The simple science experiment remains from the old edition, and Bran ley has included a new discussion of day and night on the moon, as well as a photo of our planet taken from space. Gail Gibbons' Sun Up, Sun Down (HBJ, 1983) is a broader, shallower treatment.John Peters, New York Public Library
