5.0 out of 5 stars Its not just for kids, January 8, 2002

I originally bought the book for an 11 year old young man as Christmas persent. My son (26) looked it over and asked if I really was going to give it to the 11 year old? Other members of my family have now seen this and asked that I order more for various family members. Its very interactive and contains many interesting and intriguing bits of information. The cover alone is a wonder. I wound up giving the book to my grandson for Christmas and he's 7 years old. Now his dad is enjoying it, as well. I can picture and imagine everyone enjoying this Museum in a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to know how to keep a room full of kids quiet?, August 14, 2002

Buy this book.

Simply stated, one of the best hands-on books I've come across. Stretched over the span of a summer this book managed to keep an entire neighborhood of kids (ages 5-12) busy and interested in the world around them.

An excellent addition to any library, home or school, this book tends to be more accessible to kids than its companion Explorabook. The experiments are easy for anyone of any age to execute.

5.0 out of 5 stars This may be a kids book, but the "facination level" is a 100, March 8, 1998

I honestly intended to buy this book for my 7 year old granddaughter, but I've had it a week, and find new facts of amazement each time. I took your advise a & did not read it cover to cover, but just roamed around till something caought my eye. Now I have to buy it for ALL the grandkids.
