Review:My 8 year old daughter absolutely loves this.. she is always teaching us new facts. There is something for everyone in this book. Even the adults find themselves skimming through reading it. It's an awesome and educational book, a great price for a hardcover book of that size. Read more

Review:Better then buying actual kits.....My 9yr. science lover LOVES this book! Yes, you have to prepare for the experiments but hey, kids shouldn't just be handed something all ready to go, it wont teach them the very first step in science experiments, which is.....PREPARING. Read more

Review:Brain Games features five chapters worth of mind-bending games, challenges, puzzles, and fast facts designed to explore the limits of the human brain. Among the contents covered in the book include an overview of how your brain turns senses into thoughts; how the brain makes memories; how the brain deals with emotions; how the brain makes decisions; and, how the brain directs the body’s movement.

Within each chapter there are a number of sections, each beginning with a challenge (e.g., “... Read more

Review:Thank goodness for books on sex education for kids. As someone that received no information as a child/teenager, I find it challenging to talk with my daughter about this subject. This book series has been really helpful to both normalize and have open conversations about sex. I feel great about the fact that my daughter can (and does) sit for what seems like forever reading this book.
The cartoons and jokes keeps it lighthearted; which I think makes it more enjoyable to read. It covers topi... Read more

Review:The pictures, history, and the workings of a train and the cars are very informative. The book allows for interpretation without reading the details to a three year old. The 7 year old and the five year old are mesmerized by the pictures of the old west, how the train makes steam to move the wheels, and all of the workers involved in running a train. Read more

Review:This book is a perfect role model for children. It is such a touching and compassionate story about a hippo and a tortoise coming together and becoming friends. This shows how kind-hearted two animals can come together being friends that anything in life can also happen even when you don't suspect it or wouldn't believe it until you see it.

Review:Purchased this book to go with a Telescope for Xmas gift.
He is advanced for his age/reading level, and LOVES science.
I like the trivia and other bits/pieces that introduces the child/young person into Astronomy, and explains things in a simple, but interesting manner. He will get years of enjoyment out of this book.
I highly recommend this as a gift for any child 6 yrs and up. Read more

Review:I kept waiting to be 'captured' by the character in this book, but I had very little empathy for him, or connection to him. The story seemed to drag on and bog down in mundane events. I really TRIED, but haven't made it past 2/3 of the way through. I plan to finish, hoping there will be something redeeming in it's ending. The general grammar is bad and sentences are jumbled and don't flow. I hope this was an intentional effort on the part of the author - if not, I can't imagine how an editor wou... Read more
