[Littles Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

Smartypants is a series of books which makes science interesting and fun for the kids. Written in a conversational style with a very smart and sassy cat- aka the smartypants, this series is great for all the inquisitive kids.

What is gravity? If you throw something, it will fall down- that’s gravity in its simplest terms. But why does it fall down, what makes it work, concept of mass and matter and also gravity looked upon from the space and it’s impact on earth, moon and so on and more is discussed in this bite sized book with a fair bit of humour.

We have 3 books in this series and we love all of them for the concise writing, clever illustrations and the much needed humour to make it all interesting.

A great STEM book for all the littles. Ideal for age 4+ yrs
