5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, 20 Aug 2007
I bought this book for a friend and ended up borrowing it back. The activities are simple to carry out with clear instructions and have been well thought out. The science behind each activity is clear and easy to understand. If you have a child who's interested in crime-solving then this book is a must! Some activities need an adults help to carry them out properly, but I really enjoyed taking the time to do these with my kids.
