Electric stingrays. Electric eels. Electric catfish.
What do these three fish have in common? They all
stun
their supper—and their enemies—with high-powered pulses
of energy. And they aren’t alone. At least a hundred kinds of
animals zap predators and prey with
electricity
.
Natural electricity also causes the gentle jolt you feel when
you shuffle across a carpet and touch a doorknob. It makes
the crackling sound you hear when you take off a sweater.
It even triggers the bright
lightning
flashes you see during
summer storms.
As you read this book, you’ll
learn lotsmoreaboutelectricity,
and
magnetism
too. But that's
not all. This book is also chock
full of jokes. Some of them will
make you laugh out loud. Other
might make you groan. (Sorry.)
But either way, you’ll have a
good time. So let’s get started!
It’s Natural!
