Really love this book - just packed with facts both historical and scientific in an easy to digest form - just take 2 x 10 minute teaspoons nightly and by the end of the week you'll have an expert experimenting with paper planes and parachutes. Suitable for children aged 7-11.

Best Science books ever!!!
11 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
This series of books are great!!! If you want your child to learn Science......these are ways to do it, PLUS you get them to read!! The learning that my boys have accumulated by reading this series is remarkable!!! A more mature step up from Miss Frizzle, who by the way is wonderful for that younger age group!!!
Disappointing
