Description
Through humorous observations, we follow three young mice and their mother as they discover the uses and hazards of electricity. We discover how electricity comes from a power station and how wires carry it around our homes to give us light, to make things move, to make sound, to keep things cool and make things hot! In doing so, the book explores the principles of electricity (Science Key Stage 1) - and has a bit of fun along the way! This is an exciting and beautifully illustrated information book that encourages children to question the world around them.
