This title features fun-to-do experiments for kids, shown step by
step. It includes 16 stimulating projects that help children to
learn about science by conducting their own experiments. It
introduces and explains very simple ideas in physics, chemistry and
biology: light and shade, water, weather, sound, and everything
children can see, touch and hear. You can find out how mirrors
work, tell the time by the sun, investigate sound by making a
string telephone, and see how the wind moves a homemade sail boat.
All the experiments are shown in clear step-by-step photographs,
and use simple materials and very basic equipment that can be found
around the home. It is the perfect starter book for ages 3 to 7
years - for older readers to use with minimum supervision, and for
younger children to enjoy with adult help. The world around us is a
source of incredible wonder and amazement to children. This book
will reveal and explain how things work, and respond to youngsters'
first questions.It encourages readers to devise and carry out their
own practical experiments - such as exploring the way light travels
in straight lines by making shadow puppets, and melting ice cubes
to learn about temperature - instilling real understanding and the
excitement and enthusiasm that will carry them positively into more
'serious' science in the future.

Henri Matisse created some of his most exquisite works by cutting
shapes out of paper. Delightfully entertaining and playfully
inventive, his "drawings with scissors" are also a superb
introduction to the most basic artistic concepts: color, line, and
form. This engaging and accessible look at Matisse's cut-outs,
arguably the highlight of his magnificent career, follows the
artist as he goes in search of pure forms of expression.
Illustrated with beautiful reproductions of Matisse's most famous
works, the book relates an imaginary tale about how the colors and
shapes created by Matisse come to life, carrying the reader off
into the artist's fantasy world. It reflects Matisse's spontaneity,
his love of bold colors, and his seemingly effortless ability to
capture movement on paper, which make him an artist of great appeal
to children. Fun and easy-to-follow, this exploration of Matisse's
cut-outs invites children of all ages to draw with scissors just
like the artist, using the sheets of paper printed in
Matisse-inspired colors included in the book.
