5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious but Educational, February 1, 2002

This review is from: Fatal Forces (Horrible Science) (Paperback)

I purchased the book for my son. He is 7 and loves science. The
way it is written, it keeps his interest, keeps him laughing, and teaches him all at the same time. I believe since the book is funny to children they will retain the information better and
apply it to science class at school. Sooner or later they'll say, "Hey, I read about that in "Fatal Forces" and will be ahead of the game.

This review is from: Fatal Forces (Horrible Science) (Paperback)

My 11 year old son loves all of the "Horrible Science" series, and has read them multiple times. We just discovered that there is a companion series called "Horrible Histories" by a different author, but in the same style. I hope they will equal the educational and entertainment value of the science books.

These are the books stay up with, carry everywhere, quote all day long. My 8 year old boy has literally carried this series with him everywhere for the last year, and quotes them constantly. I think he's learned more science from them than any schoolwork he's ever done, and they're fun and FUNNY!
Fantastic gift for the 7-11 year olds in your life!
