The first in a new 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 Goldilocks
and the Three Bears, fact-checking, exposing the flaws and explaining
the science. Bears don't live in cottages -- they prefer dens! The
smallest bowl of porridge wouldn't be "just right" -- it would have been
the coldest! Professor Goose is delighted to see Baby Bear use the
scientific method and Goldilocks's fight or flight response. And maybe
Goldilocks should have used a GPS so she wouldn't have gotten lost in
the first place?
Jammed with jokes and wonderfully silly 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
instructions on how to engineer their own chair for a (teddy) bear!
