We found something unexpected about our last book, 101 Kids Activities that are the Bestest, Funnest Ever!…our most loyal readers were KIDS! In fact, that book ended up being one that parents/caregivers would just hand to a child when they were bored to find something to do.
We loved that!
So, with that in mind, this science book is written to your kid. This allows the child to direct the experiment and be the one that makes the discoveries.
