Young students will explore what everyday objects are made of in this colorful and engaging book. Materials of cloth, metal, plastic, wood, and paper are each given a page that correlates to an example and picture of a coat, school bus, table (hard plastic), rain hat (soft plastic), and pencil. The large font and bright pictures, and a total of eighty-seven words, will make beginning readers feel confident. The last page encourages students to apply what they have learned by showing a picture of a playground and asking, "What is it made of?" In a "Show What You Know" section, the teacher or parent will ask the child what the bus is made of, how the wood feels and why the paper rips. A picture glossary also reinforces the material covered, and readers will be asked to use those words in a sentence. Teachers will like the "comprehension and extension" section that encourages students to discuss what materials are used to make things, what is made from plastic and how to compare and contrast objects like a table and a rain hat. This is a good purchase for a curious kindergarten or first grade student interested in basic science. As a teaching tool, the paperback version is reasonably priced and conforms to National Science Education and Teaching standard curriculum. Reviewer: Elizabeth Leis-Newman
