Quarantine reading. I thought this would be way beyond my 2 year old but she surprised me. Not only did she enjoy the book but she chimed in with other examples of gravity and liked learning the new word.

Early reader about gravity. Very clear and concise, my kids have both learned the concept of gravity well thanks to this book.

This book was able to explain a complex topic in it's simplest form. Even my 3 year old was able to understand the concept of gravity!

Very simple intro to gravity, describing its effect on things kids are familiar with. Cute that it has an index at the end.
