Galileo's Leaning Tower Experiment by Wendy Macdonald, 2009 Charlesbridge Publishing, 32 pages.
World Geography, World History, science... and some creative fictional characters as well! All in a beautiful information Picture Book.
The story of the legendary Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment by Galileo is brought to life here around the story of a boy, Massimo, who was very clever, and dropped his father's lunch from a bridge everyday in calculating motions... until a passer-by professor named Galileo witnesses it and rethinks the whole Aristotelian notion on the subject!
The pictures are colorful, warm and very pleasant, and some of the angles are taken from delightful perspectives!
A gem. A very nice way to introduce children to Galileo and to some concepts of Physics.
