Puff - (A Science Pals Book) by Emily Kate Moon (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Puff the wisp of air leads young readers on an adventure that reveals air's role in the atmosphere and its impact on life on earth"--

Book Synopsis

Breathe deep and prepare to sail like the wind, with the sweetest puff of air in all the atmosphere--part of the Science Pals series, including Drop: An Adventure through the Water Cycle and Ray: How Light Works

Look who just blew in! Meet Puff. He's air. And he's a gas! Puff has been here for billions of years, forming a blanket of protection around Earth to hold in heat and keep out cold. Puff is key to life--he's the air we breathe and the wind around us. And he's got talent! Have you ever incinerated a space rock? Traveled from the highest heights to the deepest depths of the sea? Or spun through a tornado? Puff has! He'll tell you all about it. With refreshing wit and breezy one-liners, Puff takes readers on an airy adventure through the atmosphere, earth, water, and you. Filled with irresistible artwork, funny asides, and a gentle current of kid-enticing facts, Puff is the breath of fresh air we've all needed.

"Fresh and breezy." --Kirkus

Review Quotes

"A white puff with a stylish quiff conducts readers through simple explanations of how our atmosphere goes everywhere--even deep into the oceans and beneath the surface of the land--to help keep Earth warm, carry droplets of water, deliver the oxygen we require and the carbon dioxide plants need to survive, and spread pollen and seeds. . . . Fresh and breezy." --Kirkus

"This beginner science text explains in easy-to-understand terms and formatting how important air is to life on Earth, including in the sky, underground, and in the sea. . . . Puff, a cute mass of air who has been on Earth since the planet's inception [features in] cheerful illustrations." --Booklist

Praise for Drop: An Adventure through the Water Cycle, a Science Pals Book:

"Splashy and original." --Kirkus

"A stand out from others of its type . . . Perfect for a science lesson read-aloud." --School Library Connection

"An endearing, conversational introduction to the water cycle." --Publishers Weekly

Praise for Ray: How Light Works, a Science Pals Book:

"[Emily Kate] Moon brings the same refreshing combination of charm and solid fact [to Ray] that animated her profiles of water (Drop) and air (Puff) . . . . In the vivid illustrations, bursts of light brighten deep seas and underground layers to demonstrate energy's reach, storage, and continual flow, as well as the planetary surfaces, where light plays an essential role in making food for all. . . . A high-wattage spotlight on our most important power source." --Kirkus
