Description

This book briefly explains the laws of motion by describing how they are used in a variety of sports.

Quick Summary

If your child is obsessed with how a soccer ball curves or why a skateboarder can keep moving without falling, this quick little read packs those answers into a story that feels like a playdate on the field. It follows a group of kids as they try out different sports kicking, throwing, bouncing and each scene shows a basic law of motion in a way that even a kindergartner can picture. The text is short and snappy, with friendly illustrations that keep the momentum going, so reluctant readers will stay hooked without getting bogged down in heavy explanations. Parents will appreciate that there's no scary stuff, just the thrill of running, jumping, and figuring out why things move the way they do. If your kid enjoys "The Magic School Bus" or any early science picture books, they'll probably love this too.
