Why gravity matters
Cayuga Ridge has always been a small, quiet town. On its Main Street are the Laundry, Bakery, Pizza Parlor, Telephone Company, Library, Courthouse (with statues of Cayuga Ridge heroes) and the Cayuga Ridge Gravity Company, after which this darling volume is named.

At the Gravity Company, Mortimer ensures that the machine always works. He watches its dials, gauges, switches, levers, and buttons--and thus sees to it that the folks in Cayuga Ridge have enough gravity. But every afternoon, when Mortimer goes out to lunch, he puts the gravity machine on automatic. And while he's out, Gloria comes in to clean, with her mops, buckets, rags and soap.

But on one special (or infamous) day, depending on whether readers are up or down, Gloria was cleaning the Gravity Company with all those mops, brooms, brushes, buckets and soaps. Her mop hit the automatic switch, turning the machine off. All over Cayuga Ridge funny things started to happen.

I won't spoil 24 pages describing the drama that followed--or how Mortimer came to the hapless town's rescue--but children learn from these hysterical antics all about gravity and why it is so important to Earth.

Our copy of this 1988 classic is falling apart. I'd stop before calling the book priceless, though, as even Gravity has its limits.
