Reach for this book when your child starts asking those persistent, impossible questions about why things fall down instead of up or why they slide across the back seat of the car when you turn a corner. It is perfect for the stage where a child's natural curiosity shifts from observing what happens to wanting to understand the invisible forces at play. Using a conversational and investigative tone, Vicki Cobb breaks down complex physics into nine relatable inquiries that turn the world into a giant laboratory. By framing Newton's Laws of Motion and gravity through the lens of a child's everyday experience, the book fosters a sense of scientific wonder and intellectual confidence.
