A unique picture book about science and the wild world, Little Jagadish and The Great Experiment encourages little ones to nurture curiosity. Based on the life and mind of real-life scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose, the following excerpt shows the educational combination of outdoor learning and books.
*
One day at school,
while watering the plants,
he hummed a tune and did a little dance.
All of a sudden,
with a small pop,
an idea appeared
and he came to a stop.
‘I wonder if, like us,
plants can hear, too.’
His teacher listened
and her bright eyes grew.
‘Well, no one knows,’
Miss Pooja said.
Jagadish was stunned.
He scratched his head.
With that,
Miss Pooja’s
excitement
grew more.
She saw that
Jagadish had
opened a door.
‘In this world,
mysteries abound.
Books are not
where all answers
are found.’
‘Start with a question,
like you’ve already done.
Then, make a guess.
This is where it gets fun!
Do some experiments
and find some clues.
Make observations, see if your guess is true.’
