(4) 4-6 Warner Brothers: Wile E. Coyote, Physical Science Genius series. Illustrated by Andrés Martínez Ricci. Warner Brothers' evergreen duo of Road Runner and his hapless would-be predator Wile E. Coyote illustrates the physical principles of energy, forces, and motion. The Acme devices Wile E. uses (e.g., renewable-energy-fueled Bio-Buggy 2000) serve the purpose well and the illustrations are engaging, but the high-reading-level explanations seem at odds with a cartoon-watching audience. Occasional diagrams expand the cartoons. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Warner Brothers: Wile E. Coyote, Physical Science Genius titles: Wile E. Coyote Experiments with Energy and Wile E. Coyote Experiments with Forces and Motion.
