Editorial Reviews

Review
Prasad’s clear prose gives a good explanation of gravity as well as examples of how it works. -- Phil Plait, Author of “Bad Astronomy” and Education Resource Director for the NASA E/PO at Sonoma State University

This is an excellent book in applying language arts skills for reading comprehension and writing applications through creative storytelling. -- Sharon Janulaw, Director of the North Bay Science Project

Product Description
A simple question asked on a basketball field sparks a discussion on gravity that carries on into the classroom. Coupled with demonstrations, which can be easily duplicated at home or in the classroom, "'Why Can't I Jump Very High?' - A Book About Gravity" starts the reader on a path to the discovery of the most prevalent force in the universe.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Budding Scientists..., August 31, 2004
This is a very well written book for youngsters (and oldsters) interested in the laws of gravity. I found author Prasad's writing enjoyable and yet easy to understand. My three year old enjoyed the illustrations by artist Simmonet very much! When he is old enough, I'm sure he will enjoy the written content as well! A "must-have" for your child's bookshelf as well as the classroom!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Scientific Children's Book, June 28, 2004
By A Customer
This book is perfect for inquisitive children of all ages. It is also an excellent book that will get children interested in science. It gives insight into the seemingly mysterious force of gravity. The author presents the topic clearly and discusses interesting examples. I would be interested in reading more scientific books on other scientific topics for children from this author and illustrator.
