Review/Critique:
This book explains what force, friction and gravity are. The book provides a series of scenarios where force is explained and it provides different experiments to try.

This book is a great trade book that explains force because the scenarios are very relatable to young readers. A few of the pages are very detailed and a little too long, but with the right guidance, students can learn a lot about the basics of force.

Retelling: This book gives many examples of forces in our everyday lives: When you push something it moves; when you pull something it moves. It also explains how weight effects whether a thing will move or not and how friction works.

Thoughts and Feelings: Force is difficult to understand because it takes so many different forms and we can’t always see it, even though it is there. I liked when the author imagined a room without gravity.
