What Is Friction? (Rookie Read-About Science: Physical Science: Previous Editions)

I used this as a supplement to our first grade force and motion unit. After reading it to the kids I thought, "I'm so glad that I got this book." It does a sound job of explaining friction in kid-friendly terms. My kids totally understand friction now!

I bought this book for my 8th grade students who do not understand friction, and had to be retested on it. Their assignment was to read this children's book to each other and discuss it, page by page, while looking at the pictures. They then compared and contrasted the contents of this book with the section of their textbook that discussed friction. Most of them had a better understanding of friction after completing the assignment.

Great book for teaching kids

My two grandsons (5 and 3) love this book!
