Lotsa Fun with Fire! 18 Nov 2011

By Warty - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Great book filled with some great projects. Keep in mind, this isn't something to buy your kid unless you want your house to burn down. These are good projects for someone who knows what they are doing and is able to be safe when playing with fire.

Great gift fro your friends with kids 20 Sep 2011

By S. Kosloske - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

No, I'm serious about the title. There are some fun experiments in here, and can teach kids both about chemistry, and to have respect for things that burn and blow up.

A lot of it is pretty basic, so I think it's more geared toward adult-assisted experiments for kids. But then, the flame thrower is really cool. Can't wait to build that, not sure where I'll find a safe place to try it, though.

So much interesting history and creative science! 20 Aug 2011

By Wendy J from UMICH - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed William Gurstelle's new book The Practical Pyromaniac. I have only tried two of the projects so far with my children but they were easy, interesting and so much fun! We all loved it. Thanks for writing these books. Science would have been so much more interesting if teachers had used your great experiements while we were in school. We are all looking forward to what your next book will bring to our lives.
