It was 9:30 pm on a Thursday evening when my sixth grader casually announced that he had a science project due - the next morning! He had to produce a homemade musical instrument. My suggestion of a toilet roll kazoo didn't cut it. Mr. Wizard to the rescue! Using a ruler,a pencil, some dressmaking pins and an empty cigar box I happened to have been saving, just in case, he put together a delicate "piano" which earned an A. The science teacher said he'd never seen one before! Thank you Mr. Wizard for writing a book which uses things that you can readily find about the house and which explains why they work.

This book is filled with neat experiments and tricks. I think it would be perfect for children who are not interested in science. Easy instructions, common ingredients, nicely illustrated. Don't you want to know how to get an egg in a bottle?
