This book focuses heavily on different factors of science, as well as appropriately explaining them to a younger audience with everyday examples of application. I liked how it provided experiments that could be done as well to follow along with the story being told. I think it has a lot of educational value and would be a great point of reference to have in a personal library or classroom as it involves so much. ( )

I like this book because it gives a kid-friendly explanation of the forces of motion. I also really like that it is super interactive. As a read aloud, there are opportunities for students to respond to questions and prompts. In addition to that, it has experiments in the book that kids can do; it lists the equipment and materials needed, has directions, and includes questions about them. I would use this book in chunks; the first part of each section is a great read aloud to introduce the concepts of pushing, pulling, force, etc., and I would use the experiments that follow them if I could. I like that this book can be used for several different ideas/concepts.

discussion of the different forces and motions throughout the world and how they interact with us each day. also discusses different activities that can be done to demonstrate such forces and motions
