Reach for this book when your child is in a phase of asking why for every natural phenomenon, or if they are prone to overthinking things that initially seem scary. It provides a gentle, humorous entry point into logical thinking and the scientific method through the eyes of three well-meaning but confused hens. On Loopy Coop Farm, Pip, Midge, and Dot encounter falling apples and must navigate their initial fear before arriving at a silly, farm-style explanation for gravity. This story is ideal for early readers (ages 4 to 8) who appreciate slapstick humor and animal characters. It beautifully balances the feeling of being startled by the unknown with the empowerment of investigation. Parents will appreciate how it models teamwork and curiosity, turning a moment of farmyard panic into a playful exploration of how the world works. It is a lighthearted choice for bedtime or a first science lesson.
