Review: Amazing Book!! - This book is perfect for my gifted six year old! Each topic is presented in two pages, it outlines the basic science behind each concept, it makes it easy to understand for both children and adults alike. There are a bunch of topics for a chapter, and the topics build on each other so as you get further into the chapter, what you read earlier flows nicely with what you are currently reading. Doesn't give too much detail but doesn't give to Little… The perfect amount for a child. This is a perfect book for a child that you want to get into science and physics, and teach them the basic fundamental concepts. I love how they immediately start with forces and talk about Isaac newton, and his three laws of motion, and the whole first chapter is just devoted to forces. They also briefly talk about the scientific method and about how science is about questioning everything. Only just finishing the first chapter now, but if the rest of the chapters are anything like the first, this book will be one that I use on my other two children when they come of age. Review: It kept my son reading 2 days straight! - This was a gift for my son. He loves science. He read this book in a couple of days and he's 8. So I'm giving it a 5. He really enjoyed it. I think it's fantastic that there are books on subjects like this geared towards children. It's awesome to see the enthusiasm to learn about science and the world around them. I highly recommend it if you have a child that is interested in science and related subjects.

“Why is the sky blue?” I don’t know but this book does!
Got toddler questions that make you want to throw up your hands?? “Where’s does wind come from?” “Why does it rain?” Now you can say “let’s go read your book!” Omg so nice, it’s a tad old for my son a toddler, but it still helps with those questions! Also he’s vibing with the science experiments (there’s a lot in there, be ready to do them if you get the book!) they’re easy, like using a balloon to learn about air pressure and atmospheric changes, etc. we love it!

great tool
We just got it today and we’ve already got into it. I love the way it breaks things down and gives examples that are relevant to my child.

Very well done book on the subject for an advanced 7 year old and 11 year old child.
This is well written with great illustrations and quality material. I think my 7-year-old, who is very curious about this subject, will enjoy it, and it is sophisticated enough that his 11-year-old sister may as well.

Great Book, highly recommend.
Brilliant, love it great educational book and easy to learn my 7 & 10 year old enjoy reading this book, would highly recommend, especially if your starting your kids off on physics or an adult, like me that was never very good at any science subject that wants to start again, I really enjoyed reading this educational book myself. It’s also great for Homeschooling, as it’s an enjoyable and easy read.

Perfect balance of visuals and kid-friendly explanations
This is an excellent introduction to physics for curious kids. The photos and illustrations are engaging and clear, and the explanations strike a rare balance—not too simplified, but not overwhelming either. It’s ideal for kids who enjoy learning in short bursts and want real information without it feeling like a textbook. A fantastic book for fostering genuine curiosity and confidence in science.
