5.0 out of 5 stars This book had great impact on my life, September 16, 1999
By A Customer
I had this book when I was little and I used to beg my mom to read it to me over and over. I loved it. It got me interested in science and research. It is at least partially due to this book that I entered college as a biology major. Highly recommended- I wish it was still in print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still making an impact, September 10, 1999
My brothers and I grew up with the Value Books series, and this was one of our favorites.My mother still has the full set, but now my brothers and I are starting our own families and would love to each have a set. If you can get ahold of copies, get them. The lessons they teach are invaluable - I would reccomend them to any parent and for any child.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a fabulous book, November 25, 1997
By Barbara A. Oakley (Rochester, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My six-year-old daughter picked this book out of a used book store two years ago. She must have had me reread it to her over fifty times since then. It's the kind of inspirational book that I WISH she would read--I can't get over the fact that there is something about this book that makes HER want to pick it up again!
