Electricity explained through Oscar’s questions

A curious kitten’s encounter with a tractor’s windshield wipers opens the door to basic questions about electricity. Oscar asks, and Bird helps explain how electricity is made and stored, which machines use it, and why wires, batteries, plugs, and sockets call for care. The story-led introduction is supplemented with activities and an index, giving the book both a narrative entry point and material to explore afterward.
