Using his scientific inquiry skills, he observes the differences between the scratches Gnocchi makes with her claws and the scratches left on the booth, and shows that his friend was wrongfully accused.Įducational Objective (Science):To aid in the development of problem-solving and inquiry skills. To prove Gnocchi's innocence (and eat cannoli), George decides to mount an investigation. Gnocchi, the cat, is accused of scratching the booths in Chef Pisghetti's restaurant. George, with the not-so-willing assistance of Jumpy Squirrel, discovers the wonders and the perils of kite flying.Įducational Objective (Science):To explore how wind makes things move.Ī kite maker works with a group of kids to help them make and fly their own kites. But the best thing of all for a windy day is a kite. In the wind, birds soar, ping-pong balls roll, and bricks don't move at all.
