5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the series!!, January 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Kid Concoctions & Contraptions (Paperback)

My kids & I were so excited to purchase this 4th book in the Kid Concoctions series! We didn't even know ther was a 4th book until we read in the newspaper it had just won the Parents' Choice award. My children have growen up on the first 3 books and love this new book full of fresh innovative ideas. There is everything from Hollywood special effects to Sea Monkeys, flying rockets, and even a jet boat all made in minutes from household items. This book get our family vote for the best of all the Kid Concoctions books!!

By A Customer

This review is from: Kid Concoctions & Contraptions (Paperback)

Great science projects. We made the hover craft and had hover craft races with my sons 4th grade class. The kids learned about science and had a wonderful time. This is my sons favorite book....and mine too.
