5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent present, 5 May 2009
By N. Parham - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I gave this to my 6 year-old nephew for Christmas last year. An instant success for a boy who is into how-things-work as it has plenty of pictures and diagrams and an adequate amount of text for a 6-10 year old. Definitely recommended.
