Description
Cricket shows Oscar the kitten how various objects need a push or a pull to move, but animals can move themselves by using their muscles.
Quick Summary
Oscar the kitten and his bouncy friend Cricket turn ordinary objects into a playground of pushes and pulls, making physics feel like a game of chase. Children will delight in the simple, hands on experiments, such as rolling a ball or tugging a toy cart, that reveal how every movement needs a push or a pull. If your kid loves stories that blend a curious animal duo with easy science lessons, they will devour this picture book gem. It is perfect for early readers in kindergarten through second grade (ages 5 to 8).
