Hardcover
$18.95
Nora and Cora can't understand why flapping their fins won't let them take to the sky just like birds. But just like scientists and statisticians, Nora knows that there's a difference between coincidence and cause. The two whales embark on an adventure of experiments as they try to defy gravity and prove that it IS possible for a narwhal to fly. This motivational reading book teaches children AND adults: ● To dream big dreams and ask big questions ● To understand and separate Cause and Effect ● New critical thinking skills used by the world's best problem solvers ● Adaptability and resilience ● Openness to learning
For the nerds, the research behind the theme: Studies show that children's understanding of cause and effect is a critical part of development and that understanding experiments can lead to greater critical thinking abilities including an implicit awareness of statistics and causality (Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, 2015).
