Learn about forces by meeting some hilarious characters who are keen to explain why they are the most important!

This book makes science learning fun and engaging for children aged 7 plus. Meet best friends Gravity and Weight who are surely, they think, the most important forces on Earth. And yet, isn't Gravity actually really weak and, anyway, their rivals Friction, Air Resistance and Magnetism all want to explain why they are the most important. So which force really matters most?

What Matters Most is a series of humorous books for children that explain science processes with lively comic artwork and show why variety is important. Titles in the series:
Body Bits
Energy and Power
Gravity and other Forces
Materials
Plant Parts
The Sun, the Moon and the Planets

Paul's books cover a wide range of subjects, from whether the Romans ate crisps to how to build the world's best skatepark, but he writes mostly about sport. Whether you are interested in swimming, cycling, snowboarding, surfing or another sport, Paul has probably written something that will inspire you to get out and give it a try. Paul writes in a shack by the beach, which he shares with his one-eyed surf dog, Daisy. Nigel Baines is an experienced illustrator and book designer who has worked for various trade publishing houses. He is a keen walker and would like to spend half the year living on top of the Andes. His other great loves are Grantham Town Football Club and any kind of travel.
