The content in the Adventures with Forces is very rich, reflecting the authors’ extensive research and collation of science facts about forces of all types we experience in our daily life. The narration with comic storytelling style is engaging not just for children but also for parents and teachers. It is a wonderful book for learning the science and applications of forces in nature as well as manmade environment or facilities. There are many nuggets of knowledge and historical records of scientific discoveries, experiments or events scattered throughout the book, making the learning and appreciation of forces come alive! The elastic forces working for the structure and function in our body anatomy is among some of the clever topics, illustrating the creative thought process by the authors.

We had a great time reading “Adventures with Energy" so there was lots of excitement when “Forces” was released. Eldest finished the latest book in 2 days and it has been his regular read since then. It’s brilliant of the authors to leverage on daily snippets in life to explain and illustrate complex science concepts. The vacuum cleaner example resonates with kids well. Learning should be fun and enjoyable. This book brings out the essence of learning through real-life experiences.

Adventures with Man and the Environment

The 80-page full coloured comic book is a collection of 11 absorbing stories of three families, their pets, and a time-travelling parrot as they explore the impact that man has on Earth. A pair of time travelling animals saw the terrible consequences of man's actions and playfully influenced the brilliant young minds and the Einstein School of Science to do their part to fix the situation in today's world. The book is packed with nuggets of interesting facts and is aligned with the MOE and Cambridge Science syllabus. The chapters look at important cycles in nature, habitats and ecologies, the impact of clean energy and more!
