Reviews

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Despite the promising topic of 'sharp and sticky,' this book just doesn't provide the titillating details and exciting narrative that we've come to expect with today's science books written for children.

The book does offer many colorful photos, but the somewhat boring and very forgettable narrative didn't really keep my interest. It's good, but not great, but I guess that's what I have to expect from a book that is more than twenty years old.
