This book is "Exploring Science Four" by Walter A. Thurber and edited by Paul E. Smith This is a really charming early grades Science book with color photos and prints and multiple black and white diagrams illustrating the lessons throughout. This the the Fourth book in a six book series. The reading consultant is Linda C. Smith and 4 different illustrators are cited for their contributions. It would be really fun to collect the full set!

The best part of this book is the cover illustration and the numerous colorful illustrations throughout. Honestly, if you didn't want to keep it as a book some of the art work inside would be really adorable framed in your home school classroom or children's bedrooms. Really, really appealing!
