4.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Test - 8yr old Grandson, June 27, 2000

This review is from: Dirt and Grime (Like You've Never Seen!) (Paperback)

I gave this book to my 8yr old Grandson on an outing with Grandma this past week. I handed it to him as we began our 35 min trip by car. He leafed slowly through the pages and for the next 20 mins. we discussed each image.

The author chose to color the images which makes it easier to identify each object relative to the text. And makes it fun to look at. However, one or two actual grayscale photos with arrows would have been nice. I kept wanting to explain to him that the carpet beetle wasn't really day-glo colors, etc. Hopefully, the next book out in hardcover will show a few real images. For the adults, I'll add that my engineer at home enjoyed the photos as well.
