Retelling: This book gives many examples of forces in our everyday lives: When you push something it moves; when you pull something it moves. It also explains how weight effects whether a thing will move or not and how friction works.

Thoughts and Feelings: Force is difficult to understand because it takes so many different forms and we can’t always see it, even though it is there. I liked when the author imagined a room without gravity.
