Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The second in a fractured fairy tale series by the author of Franklin the Turtle! Join Professor Goose in this STEM-filled picture book as she fact-checks classic fairy tales and shares the science behind these flawed stories.
Mother Goose's fairy tales are NOT based in science, and her great niece Professor Goose thinks it's time to share the truth. Join Professor Goose as she -- literally -- travels through the pages of The Three Little Pigs , fact-checking, exposing the flaws and explaining the science. Did you know that pigs run in a zigzag pattern? And that there's no way a wolf's breath would be strong enough to blow down anything , even if he has his whole pack with him? And that hay bales are strong enough to resist most up, down and sideways forces? Sounds like the perfect material for building a house! . . . Or, not. But not to worry -- Professor Goose is armed with helpful hints on how to make a structure strong enough to withstand hurricane forces!
Jammed with jokes and hilarious illustrations, this book entertains while it introduces basic scientific laws and rules to young readers. At the back of the book, readers will find Professor Goose's new, carefully researched fairy tale ending as well as her favorite facts about coding!
"A companion book to Professor Goose Debunks Goldilocks and the Three Bears, a fractured fairy tale that uses fairy tales and fables to introduce scientific concepts to young readers."-- Provided by publisher.
