Children's Literature
Physics is a difficult subject for many young adults. The concepts of gravity, magnetism, inertia, and friction can be very confusing. Many concepts are discussed and defined in this wonderful reference guide. Earthquakes, sound waves, microwaves, and light are explained in great detail with small definitions and discussion of ways that a person can relate to the topic and understand what it is all about. Each topic is discussed as a first-person narrative to help the reader relate to the concept. The pictures that accompany each concept are like no other. They are personified accurately and effectively using bright colors and humorous images. At the bottom of each definition are other facts about each topic, such as who invented the object, who discovered it, what the largest of that concept is, or what the deadliest is. Electricity can be very hard to understand, and the authors do a fabulous job of explaining the different types of electricity as well as electric currents. This would be a wonderful addition to a science curriculum in any type of basic physics class. It is easy to understand and provides humor and entertainment. Reviewer: Rachel Miller
