This omnibus contains the first-edition versions of the stories. Please note: these are not the same as the revised second editions sold separately — in particular, the Newton's Laws story differs between editions. If you've read the second editions, this collection offers a different version of that book.

The four stories included:

Newton's Laws: A Fairy Tale: Kip sets out to seek his fortune with little more than an apple and his wits, discovering Newton's three laws of motion along the way.

Fluid Mechanics: A Fairy Tale: Queen Elise uses buoyancy, pressure, and flow — with help from Archimedes and Bernoulli — to save her kingdom.

Light: A Fairy Tale: Prince John learns to rule with a magical candle and the guidance of light mages from history, exploring color, reflection, and refraction.

Gravity: A Fairy Tale: Worry sets off to rescue her sister and uncover the secrets of the Scholar Knights, with a ghostly cat named Kepler, learning about gravity, tides, and orbits.

What's inside each story:

Every story includes science explanations, conceptual questions, hands-on activities, and quantitative practice problems (with answer keys) printed right in the book.
