Book Recommendation - General Knowledge

So I bought this to read to my son.. And honestly, I'm still learning a ton of vocab from it. It also helps me keep my chops. I especially want to recommend it because of the multitude of topics it covers. In Chinese, it's called 十万个为什么。You can find a bunch of different versions on Amazon, but I bought mine in a Suguo in Nanjing.

Also, did you guys know you can buy books on taobao and have them shipped to the States? It's a bit expensive, but we've done it a few times and it's totally worth it, especially as we are raising our son to speak Chinese.

Anyway, here is another excerpt from the book. If you can't read it, I recommend copying it into your pleco reader. Cheers!

船为什么能浮在水上而不沉没

小朋友都知道,船是一种重要的水上交通工具,它能够把人和货物从一个码头运送到另一个码头,给人们的生活带来极大地便利。可是船载着这么重的东西,为什么还可以漂浮在水面上而不会沉到水底呢?

这主要与浮力有关,水能够给漂浮物一个向上的支撑力,这个支撑力叫作浮力。水中的物体都受到浮力的作用,但浮力不一定能使所有的物体都漂浮起来,只有当浮力大于物体的重力时,物体才会浮起来。而浮力与物体排开水的体积有关。船很宽大,中间又是空心,这样的造型不仅减少了船的重力,还能帮助船排开更多的水,使排开水的体积变大,相当于增加了浮力,所以船就能漂浮在水面上。
