Newton's Laws: A Fairy Tale (Fairy Tale Physics Book 1) Reviews

The book is about half-and-half story and instruction. The story has the solid traditional feel of a regular fairy tale and is also very funny. The introduction of the laws will have the readers racking their brains along with the characters and should make them more than willing to go on to the more conventional explanations in the second half.
There are three attractive colour illustrations inside. I especially liked the one of the capital city (it's different from the castle on the cover). There are links to videos and further reading which are very tempting. And there are a bunch of questions to test your understanding (I did the conceptual ones, but left the more mathy ones).
I'd recommend it for all home schools, and indeed schools in general. -
What an absolutely delightful concept. A lot of people struggle with math or English, whatever subject. But almost everyone struggles with physics. It can be tough for many and while those who are good at it, are really good, who does not like a fun fairytale explaining the basics of the concepts of Newton's Laws. This is well-written and easy to understand and is entertaining. As an educator, I can not help but love this.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. -
An easy to read fairy tale, presented with the three basic laws conceived by Newton. I enjoyed reading it. And as a result, downloaded some of Ms. Allen's other books. I love the way she breaks down the science into something that even a layman can understand. I do recommend this book.

Really enjoyed this book and the imaginative way that Ms. Allen brings Newton's Laws to life. Highly recommend!

A cute fairy tale introduction to Newton's Laws of Motion that has the potential to be a great resource for high school students.

Very interesting approach to science, for late elementary school aged children. Not to bad for adults, either!
