Customer Reviews

Great and fun science primer.

I grew up with this book and have since tracked down copies of it for nephews, nieces and god-children. My own children will enjoy my dog-eared copy. This is a fun and engaging basic science book with many subjects and information from worms to astronomy to yeast. It also has practical and fun experiments to reinforce what is being taught. I remember growing rock candy crystals, bending light through water, and watching the different meteor showers come through during the year to name a few. This is very appropriate for elementary kids up through junior high. It's also just a fun read. I never considered the fact that I was learning and in fact it was just one of my favorite books. Great one to have around.
