Customer Reviews

Outstanding for stimulating interest in science!

My granddaughter started reading this book as soon as it arrived, and in a matter of days she was hooked on using science for problem solving. She can't wait for the next volume.

My kids (6 and 8 years old) love this book!

We are reading 4 or 5 mysteries every night. My kids always ask me to read "one more". They really love solving each mystery, as the concepts are ones they have learned in school. As a parent, this is a great book to help them review what they've learned in school.

Reviewed on Science Friday

Disclaimer: I have not read or seen the book. I did hear a review of it on Science Friday podcast (January 2, 2009) where Ira interviewed the authors and read a few of the mysteries. Listen to the podcast at http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/200901024 You don't need a mp3 player to listen to podcasts.
