Hello, Earthlings!!
Why do some things slide, stick, or stop? Join Astro, the curious space explorer, and his trusty robot buddy B.O.B. as they return to Earth and land straight into a muddy, slippery, and totally puzzling adventure!
When Astro’s feet get stuck in the mud and he slides down a hill like a rocket, one thing becomes clear: Earth is full of invisible forces! From sticky ground to speedy slopes, from clever geckos to floating feathers, Astro and B.O.B. are on a mission to discover the truth about friction and force.
Packed with laughs, facts, home experiments, and the basics of the scientific method, this first adventure in the Astro & B.O.B. series makes science fun, funny, and full of wonder.
Perfect for curious minds aged 7–11. Aligned with early science curriculum Includes hands-on activities to try at home. Encourages kids to ask questions and think like scientists. Designed to be read aloud and acted out between parent and child.
