Just like the first book in the Fairy Science collection, Ashley Spires helps children see how magical science can be.

In Solid, Liquid, Gassy, Esther, Fig and Clover make some very important water discoveries. They use the scientific method to explore the world and make fascinating discoveries. When the water goes missing from the local pond, the scientists are on it: asking a question, doing research, making hypothesis’s, conducting experiments and drawing conclusions. They discover the water cycle is “sort of” magical and use it to try and convince their fairy classmates to trust the truth of science.

I love using picture books to explore different topics, especially science. Fairy Science helps children make connections to the every day in a really fun and unusual way.

As always, Ashley Spire’s illustrations are full of fairy dust. They are bright and eye catching, using regular text and speech bubble text to convey all of the scientific happenings in Pixieville. A fantastic addition to your budding scientists or budding fairies.
