Professor Astro Cat's Atomic Adventure

Gr 2–5—After raising a series of questions about how the world works (Why is the sky blue? How does a boat float?), Professor Astro Cat invites readers to investigate the laws of physics. The answers to these questions—and much more—are found in a generous collection of eye-catching spreads, each covering a different topic, such as gravity, atoms, metals and nonmetals, mass and density, forces, and Newton's laws. There is a great deal of information packed into this book, but it is all presented in colorful varied graphics that explain concepts and vocabulary to budding physicists or anyone interested in the laws of the universe. The variety of graphic features combined with clearly written text and doses of humor make this work easy to linger over or browse. It is also useful as a mentor text for readers to study before preparing their own infographics. The only drawback is the lack of a table of contents—it is not so easy to find your way around all this material.
