From the Publisher: "Why did that happen?" "How does that work?" "What will happen if?" Young children ask questions about the world around them all day long. They are filled with curiosity and the desire to learn. Bubbles, Rainbows and Worms teaches children about the world, using hands-on experiments about plants, the environment, air and water, and the senses. Back by popular demand and completely updated, this was the first book published by Gryphon House.
