This book is "Elementary - School Science and How to Teach It" by Glenn O. Blough and Albert J. Huggett. This is a really charming early grades Science book focused on material the teacher needs to help young children to find answers to their science questions, the subject matter is essentially nontechnical. The 532 pages are text heavy but contain many black and white photographs and diagrams that aide the presentation of the subject matter.

The best part of this book is the cover. It has a bright red fabric-like feel with a photograph of three young students working on an experiment in the science lab. The children look like they are right out of Leave it to Beaver or Mayberry RFD. Just love it!
