The book discusses what air is as well as different components of air such as pressure, expansion, hot air balloons, etc. It continues on to discuss water and weather and different properties of each. I thought this book was okay, but it was not too interesting. The facts were good and there were both illustrations and photographs. However, the book was not too entertaining. I think the best informational books are the ones that engage the reader and provide facts. This text seemed a little boring in my opinion.
