A funny take on core science topics with a little help from animals ...
Written by humour and science expert Paul Mason and hilariously illustrated throughout by Pipi Sposito this series combines mischievous animal antics with essential science learning.
Each topic is explored through the eyes of one particular animal and the main humour is derived from
the unlikely and incongruous scenario of how a particular animal encounters a particular scientific
experience/theme. For example, the book about space will include a panda trying to eat in zero gravity,
run science experiments, exercise in space, live on board a space station and attempt a spacewalk as
well as launch a spaceship. And there's some fun animal facts integrated within the spreads, too.
Paul's books cover a wide range of subjects, from whether the Romans ate crisps to how to build the world's best skatepark, but he writes mostly about sport. Whether you are interested in swimming, cycling, snowboarding, surfing or another sport, Paul has probably written something that will inspire you to get out and give it a try. Paul writes in a shack by the beach, which he shares with his one-eyed surf dog, Daisy.
