Down,
down,
down
Do you know what makes things fall? Renowned science author Vicki Cobb explains the weighty subject of gracity with such ease that even the youngest kids will understand. Follow this book with a child who loves to play. Have lots of dropping races. Together you'll learn how much fun falling for science can be.

Exciting hands on activities and irresistible illustrations by Julia Gorton make Science Play a perfect way to learn about science...just for the fun of it.

My Thoughts
This book provides simple information and examples about gravity. The illustrations are simple, big and clear.  There is not much text on each page and it is often written in an interesting shape to support the information.  I really love the experiment suggestions offered for children to explore at home.
