Science All About Us - 1946

This 1946 printing of Science All About Us offers a charming look at postwar classroom science, when curiosity about the natural world was nurtured through close observation, simple experiments, and illustrated storytelling. Written by Craig Burke as part of the Our World of Science series, the book introduces young readers to everyday wonders of wildlife, plants, landscapes, and basic scientific principles, all presented with the gentle optimism of mid-century learning.

This is the only available copy, now thoughtfully handcrafted into a one of a kind journal. Select pages remain preserved among smooth, acid-free writing paper, letting fragments of the original educational text accompany your own writing. The warm illustrated cover, softly worn with age, carries the character of a well-loved schoolbook transformed into a creative keepsake.

This journal makes a meaningful gift for nature lovers, educators, writers, homeschool families, and collectors of vintage textbooks. It is perfect for journaling, sketching outdoor observations, writing creative reflections, or cataloging moments inspired by curiosity and discovery.

As with every Red Barn Collections journal, this piece carries the authentic voice of its original printing and the careful craftsmanship that gives previously loved books new life.
