Forces: Physical Science for Kids from the Picture Book Science series gets kids excited about science!"Forces, despite its down-to-earth scientific grounding, manages to do the nearly impossible. Diehn brings gravity, magnetism, push-pull forces, and friction to life in everyday contexts, without a hint of schoolroom jargon." - Booklist (Starred Review) What keeps us stuck on the ground? What makes magnets come together? What makes one team win during a game of tug of war? Forces!Our world operates the way it does because of forces.
