Review The Old Schoolhouse Magazine "Science books are always a big hit around here. During our normal read aloud time each day, its guaranteed that at least one of them will be science-based. Given that I am reading to two first graders, a preschooler, and an 18-month-old, our choice in science books is typically picture books. Nomad Press has some great ones to offer. We received the Physical Science for Kids Set for review. The set includes four books: Forces, Waves, Matter, and Energy. All four softcover books are 28 pages long with a one-page glossary at the end of the book. Theyre all fully illustrated and just plain fun to read and look at. Each of the books gives sound scientific concepts in easy to read and understandable terms. Theyre relatable, funny, and get the kids thinking. The books are written for children ages 5-8, but children older would enjoy them too. Forces addresses gravity, magnetism, push/pull forces, and friction. Those might seem like big concepts, but when you read the book, even my preschooler can explain why she falls down sometimes- gravity! "There are forces that make us stick to Earth. There are forces that make your soccer ball fly into a goal. There are forces that make your soccer ball roll to a stop before it even gets to the goal!"See? Relatable, story-like information that really gets the kids thinking. Several times after reading Forces the kids pointed out different types of force that happened in everyday life.The Physical Science for Kids Set has been a wonderful addition to our home library. The books are simple enough for everyone to understand yet contain enough scientific truth to be considered a science resource. They are written in a way that makes them great read alouds, and simple enough that my 7-year-old can confidently read them." The 50 Best Science Books for Kids 2018 PsySci.coThis is yet another book in the amazing new series called Physical Science for Kids. It is aimed at children from the age of four onwards, explaining to them some of the physical forces though entertaining everyday examples and simple language.To add to the fun, there are also some great age-appropriate experiments so that children can see and feel for themselves how forces work in their life.Finally, as in other books in the series, the text is accompanied by colorful illustrations that keep the kids eyes glued to the pages - well, at least until they run-off to conduct some of the experiments.Unleashing readers.com"Young children have so many questions about the world and how everything works. Curiousity runs wild in their brains, but more than anything they just want to learn and absorb. This series is a must get for parents, classrooms, and libraries because it addresses many of the questions that kids have."Booklist March 15STARRED REVIEWForces, 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. Discussion of the forces arises naturally by inquiring what happens in a variety of situations. The tone of the book is set with an opening poem, then moves to the idea of forcing something to happen or be done, and only then reaches the scientific concept of forces. The action of each force is presented simply, clearly, and naturally. Gravity holds everything together. Magnetism also holds things together. Friction makes things slow down or stop. Helpful examples involve jumping (the author warns, "Dont jump out of trees!"), fridge magnets, tug-of-war, pushing a swing, and-several times in the book-a pet lizard. Shululus illustrations add to the fun, giving the book a storybook quality. Children, parents, and teachers alike can enjoy learning the charming, often funny, relatable, and accessible science within this Picture Book Science series (4 titles) offering.--D.B. Johnson, author of Magrittes Marvelous Hatand Henry Hikes to Fitchburg "With a light touch and kid-friendly questions, Andi Diehn leads the reader to a more nuanced understanding of their world and the science behind it, from being forced to clean your room, to the force gravity exerts when you jump from a tree (Dont jump out of trees! Ms. Diehn warns)." --Jess Keating, author of Pink is for Blobfish: Discovering the Worlds Perfectly Pink Animals and Shark Lady: The True Story of How Eugenie Clark Became the Oceans Most Fearless Scientist "With lively illustrations and conversational, upbeat text, this series shines!"
