Reviews

[Ria]

An absolutely brilliant book and NOT just for kids, things are explained in such simple ways I think adults would also find this interesting as opposed to all the technical jargon used for text books.
Cells, atoms, plants, magnets, weather, animals, chemicals and many other topics are covered alongside colour drawings, diagrams and photographs to emphasise points.

[Deanna Sutter]

Excellent little book to cover a variety of science topics on a simple level. I would say this is an excellent little book for the 6-8 year old range. I have this book in the "mini" version so it's compact and my kids can easily pack it around.
