"Whee! Find out about the forces that keep you in motion while you spin, bounce, and bump your way through an amusement park."--
Wonderlit Review
Libby Romero's 'Amusement Park' is a vibrant nonfiction offering from DK Publishing that cleverly uses the excitement of an amusement park to introduce fundamental physics concepts. The book explains forces, motion, and energy in an accessible way, making abstract scientific ideas tangible for young readers. It's designed to be engaging, with a playful tone that encourages curiosity rather than overwhelming with jargon. This book is ideal for children who are naturally inquisitive about how things work, or for parents and educators looking for a fun entry point into STEM. It can be enjoyed as a read-aloud for younger children (4-7) who will appreciate the vivid illustrations and simple explanations, and as an independent read for early elementary students (7-11) who can delve deeper into the concepts. Parents might preview the book to discuss any unfamiliar vocabulary or to prepare for questions about specific rides. Its strength lies in connecting science to a universally appealing, joyful experience, making learning feel like an adventure.
