By Lynne Berry, Matthew Cordell (Illustrator)
A goat and hen must solve a floating mystery to deliver buttermilk across a moat.
Archie the Goat faces a watery challenge: delivering barrels of buttermilk to the queen across a moat. With Skinny the Hen by his side, they experiment with floating and sinking, learning the secrets of physics. Will their persistence and cleverness help them succeed, or will the moat remain an insurmountable barrier? Join their playful journey of trial and error, where each attempt brings them closer to a solution. Can they crack the code of buoyancy and complete their mission?
A goat and a hen turn a playful exploration of physics into scientific fun that rises to the top! Archie the Goat has a delivery to make. He has several barrels of buttermilk that the queen needs, but in order to get them to her, he needs to cross the moat. Testing several different theories to find out what will float and what will sink, Archie and his friend Skinny the Hen don’t succeed at first, but they do try, try, try again (and again). And with reason and persistence, they’ll get that buttermilk where it needs to be!
