  An easy explanation and includes a few experiments you can do to assist with the concepts.
  
  Ages: 4 - 8
  
  **Like my reviews? I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too. These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book, so you'll know just how clean it is or isn't. I also have Clean Guides (downloadable PDFs) which enable you to clean up your book before reading it!

  This book features a couple of good experiments for understanding more about air, and not much else. I always find it tedious to read the instructions for activities I'm not actually going to perform, so I mostly skimmed this book, though I do think the experiments would be interesting to try with a child, and I would consider incorporating them into our homeschool.

  When it's not windy, it can be easy to forget about air. But air is everywhere-it fills your house, your car, and even your empty milk glass. In fact, a regular room holds about 75 pounds of it! This item includes eye-catching illustrations, tells you how to discover the air that's all around you.

  It feels like this one required only about half the pages it was allotted. A good deal of the book is just one activity. The illustrations are okay, sometimes with some artistic merit, but other times too dull. The use of color isn't particularly creative.

  Would be a great science book for an emerging reader

  Cute but throws out too many topics or concepts without fully fleshing them out. It's a pretty specific book to not execute better on actual info that can be absorbed. Includes fun experiment ideas.

  Classic vintage simple science book, as clear and easy to understand as it was 40 years ago.

  Another great non-fiction book for young children. I've started to realize people overdo it with the animals and the stories -- accessible science-based non-animal-related non-fiction should be in every child's house.
  
  I like the illustrations in this one. I also like how Air is All Around You and others of this series present experiments for you to do in the narrative while walking you through the experiments. You can read the book as a read-aloud without doing the experiments without missing anything. And as always, I appreciate the single narrative format. Anything else makes it too difficult to share with children.
  
  And of course, kids think air is fascinating, because they think almost everything is fascinating.

  Another disappointing read that makes Robert E. Wells' science books for children (that i've read) look even more brilliant. Aside from the theme "air is all around you", which I understood, I found this book a mess of seemingly disjointed thoughts interrupted by example experiments. There must be better resources out there.
  
  However, there isn't anything BAD about this book, and I suppose if you worked it right, you could find some concepts to emphasize... so I'm giving it two stars. But, I am returning to the library without using it with my child. Maybe 1.5 stars is more accurate.

  This book was really cool in the aspect of putting its reader into perspective. Often times we get so caught up in the world and what is going on around us that we then lose appreciation for the little things-- like air. Not only did the author exemplify this, but he also put in a science experiment in the book too. Kids learn all the time-- even if they don't realize it. It reminded me of The Magic School Bus. Kids think it's just a show, but there's actually connections being made in the brain.

  This is one book I am definitely reading with my child! I found it to be so interesting. Even at 22 I learned from it. There was a part where it talked about how air can block water from getting in a up when putting it in a bowl, and I went home and tried it...it actually worked!! I loved this book because it made me want to experiment, and I want my kids to feel that excited about education and learning something new that they go and apply it. This book is good for that.

  This book is great. It not only talks about how air is everywhere, but it also gives you experimentsl to do to prove that they are telling the truth. It goes from talking about how we cant see air to talk about how its even in water.
  
  I loved this book! Great illustrations and experiments that kids could do at home or in the classroom!
  
  I would use this book to teach a lesson and even use the experiments in a lab

  This book includes two experiments that illustrate the presence of water in empty containers as well as in water. The pictures prompted my first grade students to ask many questions that enriched their introduction to the study of air. They were particularly fascinated by the idea of taking air tanks both into space and under water.

  This book was great for 2nd to 4th graders. It explains how air is always around us and shows pictures to allow children to understand how even though we can't see the air it is there. Obviously this would work with a science unit and i could use many different visuals for students to understand what air is and how it works.
  
  I also did my experiment from the book "Bet You Cant"

  This information packed, whimsically illustrated book about air is an excellent choice to use in the classroom or at home. The experiments are easy to do with materials that can be found in any home. Even older children and adults will learn a thing or two!

  activity - How much does air weigh? weigh an empty balloon, fill it up, then weigh it again - the difference is how much the air weighs

  46 months - Another good introductory science book to help O learn simple science concepts in the form of a simple, not too wordy picture book.

  It was great to find a book the explains the importance of air and it’s necessities of life. You could use this to conduct experiments in class.

  This books does a great job describing air, something we can't see but is essential. Two experiments we plan on doing. This book generated a lot of excitement in our room.
