I found this book good for getting your child interested in science and biographies of famous people. Although not a thorough expository of Isaac Newton's life it was still interested. The artwork is fantastic but unfortunately only 2 pages long. I suggest this book for little children since it does not contain enough information for older kids.
I bought this book for young elementary students but feel that the physics presented and the angle on his life were better suited to high schoolers. My mistake.
Good graphic novel - used this to teach about Isaac Newton and the Laws of Motion for my Special Needs, Middle School students. The graphics helped them understand the concepts of motion and forces, who this great scientist is, and what he did. This is a good way to teach about scientists, especially those who have lived in the past. Would like to see more novels about famous scientists.
My first grader loves it. He's not a very strong reader,but loves science. With this book, he's interested in the science,and pictures, so is willing to work on reading the text.
This book in cartoon format explains Newton's theories in ordinary language so that it is easy to understand. The pictures also help.
What a delightful book! Great color. Written in a comic strip format. The pictures are lively. Great for boys!
8yo son loves this - it's fairly lightweight in terms of science, but is a really good intro and way to get kids engaged.
