Review

Chin explains the concept of gravity with gorgeous pictures and few words. He chooses to illustrate the concept with a few items that start on the beach with one little boy, drift up to space when there is no gravity, and then fall back to Earth on the heads of some very surprised little girls when gravity resumes. There is a double-page explanation of gravity in the back of the book and a bibliography of additional titles related to gravity. This is a lovely book to use with students learning about gravity or interested in science. And for younger readers, the pictures are mesmerizing enough just to flip through.

Overall Book Score: excellent
