Relativity (Physics) Poetry

"If you're a curious child and you get a new dog, you discover all kinds of things. Gravity has new meaning, when you're racing down a slide toward your eager-beaver dog waiting at the bottom. . . . Friction has a new meaning, when your slippery dog escapes from the bath. . . . But love has a new meaning too, when you and your cosmic dog become the center of your own universe."--Provided by publisher.

From the publisher:
Introduce children to physics through play, poetry, and a puppy in this joyous celebration of how physics matters in our everyday lives. This remarkable picture book explores scientific concepts (gravity, magnetism, electricity, friction, etc.) through the story of the relationship between a child and a puppy. Acclaimed author Lisa Westberg Peters's poems convey concepts in a way that children will remember--often with humor. Who could forget the various phases when they're presented in the form of a dog--solid when eating dinner, liquid when pouring herself into her basket, and gas when leaping erratically after a fly? Serge Bloch's whimsical illustrations extend the humor--and the love--in this tale of a child, a dog, and the energy that abounds in their world. Extensive notes at the end of the book define and explain the physics subjects included in the poems.
