A funny take on core science topics with a little help from animals ... Written by humour and science expert Paul Mason and hilariously illustrated throughout by Pipi Sposito this series combines mischievous animal antics with essential science learning. Each topic is explored through the eyes of one particular animal and the main humour is derived from the unlikely and incongruous scenario of how a particular animal encounters a particular scientific experience/theme. For example, the book about space will include a panda trying to eat in zero gravity, run science experiments, exercise in space, live on board a space station and attempt a spacewalk as well as launch a spaceship. And there''s some fun animal facts integrated within the spreads, too.
