The Wind at Work gets kids thinking

We bought this book for our five-year-old godson and he loves it. The author gives detailed explanations of various aspects of the wind's power, and ends chapters with crafts & experiments that demonstrate how wind works. I was worried the book might be too hard for a five-year-old, but he reads it with his mother and then they make the windmills etc. together and have a good time. Great book for getting kids interested in science.
