4.0 out of 5 stars Good fun and painless education, 13 Jun 2007
By Mr. R. Tasker "governor1" (York UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you've ever been at the end of 'dodgy' happenings - from family, friends or Neighbours - you'll love this book. Much of the fun lies in trying to decide what to take with a pinch of salt but I concluded that the more hilarious/improbable, the more likely to be the genuine article. Buy it for Father's Day and you'll have a friend for life.

5.0 out of 5 stars good fun, 15 Jun 2007
I was impressed by the real sense of fun running through the whole book. It would be ideal for parents stuck with the kids on a rainy day - and particularly appealing to fathers, I suspect - especially if someone else was going to tidy up the kitchen afterwards.

There's some inspirational science here, but in our house it sparked a series of "why" and "how " questions that sent us heading for the science textbooks!

Our youngest son was particularly taken with the gooey experiments - some lovely photos of sticky fingers to remember out experiments.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, 15 Jun 2007
By Gregory Skidmore (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While the "irresponsibility" of the stuff in this book pretty much extends to the amount of time I've wasted on it and not to any real dangerous activity it might encourage, it's still enormous fun!! Great present for Father's Day.
