In This Case, Rockwell Begins With The Ordinary Experience Of A Trip To The Local Gas Station, And Then Goes On To Explore Where The Gas That Fills The Tank And Keeps The Car Moving Came From.

The Next Section Of The Book Goes On To Look At How The Excessive Use Of This Resource Now Threatens The Environment. The Text Is Accompanied By Illustrations That Are Labeled And Captioned To Help Children Understand The Concepts. While This Book Is Targeted For Primary Grades, First- And Second-graders Are Likely To Need An Adult With Whom They Can Read And Discuss The Information Page By Page. Like Others Of This Series, This Is A Good Classroom Resource. A Stage 2 Let's Read And Find Out Book. Reviewer: Mary Hynes-berry
