Great submitted by VanCancue on July 1, 2018, 6:35pm Simple science books introduces the concept. I explain it with basic examples for the children. it's amazing how much they grasp. Educational in the simplest manner. Fill between the lines with examples at home and make a lesson out of it.

Great submitted by Bookeepers on July 10, 2019, 9:07pm Fun for babies but enjoyed even more by my preschooler! Great and simple intro to more complex ideas.

Confusing to Not Babies submitted by Meginator on August 21, 2021, 10:56am Finally, one of these books that explains a topic I’m already glancingly familiar with! That said, while I appreciate Ferrie’s ambitions in this series, I yet again found myself fairly confused about some of the concepts. I found this book especially perplexing because it focuses on more difficult aspects of Newton’s laws, such as the idea that the ground itself has an equal and opposite force to gravity, rather than the three laws of motion (which is what I expected). I love the idea of this series, but this book just didn’t work for me.
