PG is getting on in years, and he bought a brilliant,
cherrywood cane to help him walk. PG named the cane
Harvy, and the two became great companions. The special
thing about Harvy is that he can talk. He has the
inquisitive mind and vivid imagination of a child and a
special curiosity about science.
The story begins at JFK airport where Harvy is entranced
by escalators, and he wonders where the moving stairs
go once the basement fills up. Harvy also wonders
about the origins of this mystical force called gravity.
He's fascinated by the laws of buoyancy, flotation, and the
wonders of flight. Why don't airplanes have to flap their
wings like birds fly? Why can humming birds hover without
having rotating blades like a helicopter?
