The pluses in the book are: the sweet illustrations and clear diagrams. I also like the focus on the children - they ask questions to each other and search for answers through evidence without an adult prompting them. It is the beginning of learning the Scientific Method. There are plenty of suggestions for projects and further research that the students can do at home or in the classroom. Given that this book was reprinted in 1952, the projects are not particularly sophisticated, and yet they aren't boring and fairly easy for kids to do on their own.
There are some bloopers - such as stating that exposure to cold can cause one to catch a cold. Overall, in a logical progression, the Wonderworld of Science makes science very accessible and real to a 3rd grader without talking down to them or being too academic. It is all tied together by an underlying idea that this is the world we live in and we are in it together. It is entertaining without bombarding the child with extraneous information as many modern textbooks do.
