Format:Paperback
This book looks at science in a fun and exciting way using cartoons and amusing captions and it tells the stories about the scientists who discovered them. It is about common forces including gravity and air pressure. I think most children who can read well would enjoy it, up to around 13.

Format:Paperback
A wonderful introduction to the forces. Easy to understand with funny cartoons and some neat history. It's also bursting with info. This was the first Horrible Science book I read and I enjoyed it all the more. I definitely recommend it to kids who want their science lessons to be understandable and fun.
