Super Science: Feel the Force!

Tom Adams, illus. by Thomas Flintham. Candlewick/Templar, $18.99 (20p) ISBN 978-0-7636-5566-2

First in a new line of science books, this high-energy pop-up takes a hands-on approach to physics. The text explains such concepts as force, gravity, friction, sound waves, light, and magnetism. On air pressure: “Although you can’t see them, air is made up of particles called molecules, each weighing a very small amount.” Cartoons, pop-ups, mini-books, flaps, tabs, and sidebars further elaborate on the various topics, and numerous experiments encourage further exploration and scrutiny. Ages 7–11. (Sept.)
