I bought this book for my daughter's friend, and my kids liked it so much I bought another for them. The experiments are at the right level for my seven and nine year old, and they are a lot of fun. The instructions are very clear and the drawings are cute and add a lot to the book. I highly recommend this to parents of all children.

This book had even my non-science-interested niece enthralled. We made two types of goo and the volcano. Terrific!

Very Cool! The book is a great collection of science experiments for kids, written in a witty and imaginative manner. "Mad Professor", like all of Frauenfelder's work, is worth purchasing for the exquisite graphic design alone.

An amazing book! Full of wonderfully strange experiments & fantastic detail! It's about time someone wrote a science-related book that kids will actually like to read. The experiments will stretch your child's imagination and expand their minds. Fun while learning ... about time.

As an adult, it really appeals to me, but I wish it had been available 20 years ago!

"Mad Professor" is more like a manual than a children's book. It's built to last with a strong hardbacking covering thick laminated pages in a spiral binding, perfect for a budding Dexter's own laboratory.

The book is a collection of cool science projects, easy to create at home and each with an introductory story that adds even more fun and fantasy. Projects are grouped by chapter and have full explainations as to what is happening.

The book itself has a great "history" and is full of great characters rendered colourfully in Mark Frauenfelder's retro-ish illustrations.

Buy this book, and knock up a batch of "Nibble Dough" to munch on while you read the rest of it. Your kids will love it.

This author just can not write fast enough for my liking! I buy his book, read it in one night and then wait with bated breath for his next book! I never know what it will be as he writes about everything and anything his creative brain comes up with, but I know it will be GREAT. You are tops in my book and keep the books comming!!!
