“Putting the fizz back into physics.”
What would we do without Dorling Kindersley books? I mean truly, who else makes books that kids really, truly want to delve into?
Books about physics.
Your child, will want to learn about physics. I promise.
From the brightly colored front page, to the great intro written by Richard Hammond, it is just so darn interesting right from the start.
The topics covered range from Newton, to what causes friction, and if you can actually lie on a bed of nails.
Please lock away your building supplies once your child starts reading this book, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Fun illustrations, tidbits of knowledge, bright colors, everything bombards you and draws your child into the book, immersing their little brains in the world of physics.
