Summary: Another terrific title from McGraw-Hill
Review: I love the "Complete Book of" books from MH, and this one is the biggest hit at my house. I homeschool my first grader, and we use this as our main science curriculum. We do the hands-on activities and we use supplemental reading to delve more deeply into each of the subjects. The "Animals" section goes beautifully with their <i>Complete Book of Animals</i> and their Solar System section also corresponds terrifically with <i>The Complete Book of Our Solar System.</i> This is enough material for the core of two years' worth of study, and the activities are bright, engaging, imaginative, and never boring. It's a shame it's out of print now, but it's worth getting a used copy - an excellent value all around. My child ASKS to "do science" now thanks to this book. =)
