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
By Robert C. Landis - Published on Amazon.com
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 22 Feb 2009
By Marina Sheila Fernandes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Compared to the other books of this series, this edition lacks. Some parts of the books were repititive. I cannot review the whole book as I got bored half way. Lacklustere
