My nine year old has just discovered this series. He absolutely loves them. The series is not only funny and entertaining it also has some good science lessons in them that can be expanded on if you are creative with them.

My 7 year old daughter really likes this 'sciency' series. Andrew is a young inventor who accidentally shrank his cousin Judy, his robot Thudd, and himself. As they try to get back to the shrinking machine before it blows up (sort of a "24" scenario), the kids learn about the macro-microscopic world is like as they encounter hair mites, ants, etc., plus other gross things that only a kid would love to read about (spoiler alert: nose hairs are involved)! My 7 year old is reading at a mid-second grade level, and has no problem with these books. The books have a few pictures, but not quite enough to interest my 4 year old in listening to them yet.

This book is about Andrew getting lost in the bathroom. It was a little boring because there were no silly parts. There was one part that I liked, when they didn't know how fungus could harm them and turn them into juice. I also learned that bacterium lives in slime cities. I preferred the other books in the series rather than this one. I would sort of recommend book.
