Motion, Magnets and More: The Big Book of Primary Science brings together in one volume four previously released books in the "Primary Physical Science" series by author Adrienne Mason and illustrator Claudia Dávila. These are Touch It!: Materials, Matter and You and Move It!: Motion, Forces and You (reviewed in CM, Vol. 12, No. 7) and Change It!: Solids, Liquids, Gases and You and Build It!: Structures, Systems and You (reviewed in CM, Vol. 13, No. 4). In the November 2005 and October 2006 reviews, Kids Can Press was acknowledged for initiating the "Physical Science Series." All four books were considered a welcome and important contribution to the science education of young children, and they remain so today.

Highly Recommended.
