This book talked about the differences between weight and balance as well as how the two are connected. It also talked about the different types of things that are in our daily lives that involves balance and weight. The book also mentioned the ways that everyday objects can be used to weigh different items.

I really liked this book. I would use it to teach my students about weight and balance.
