Editorial Reviews

In this book Wile E. Coyote needs to learn lessons on gravity and flight to help him in his quest to catch the Road Runner so flight and gravity are the main science concepts for the book. Science concepts of velocity and acceleration are presented in relationship to gravity. Lift, weight, drag, and thrust as applied to an airplane are included in the storyline as Wilie E. Coyote continues his quest of the Roadrunner. The cartoon theme is continued in a story format to keep the attention of the reader with the humorous adventures of the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. The author presents the science concepts and practical applications within the text of the familiar cartoon characters who continue their well–known adventures. There are other science related books in this series, all of which would be an excellent resource for classroom and school libraries.
