This would be a super little book for a very young child if only it didn't contain two very misleading statements. Firstly, it calls the gaseous state of water 'steam', rather than 'water vapor'. That's probably fine for an adult, who understands that the 'steam' part rising from boiling water is the bit you can't see, but very misleading to a young child who will reasonably assume steam is only the liquid water droplets they can see. It also gives 'smoke' as the standard example of a gas. Of course, most smoke consists of particles suspended in a gas. Again, a small child would assume that 'smoke' is the suspended solid particles, not the (often colorless) gas in which they are suspended.
Why are children's science books so sloppy?
