Beautiful book with easy to understand explanations of the science of rainbows
This "Rainbow Science" book would make a great gift for a young kid. It is colorful and beautifully illustrated, and the over the top rainbow glasses make it extra fun. The explanations of the science are thorough but easy to understand, plus there are some fun facts and riddles. The experiments, including candy colors, capturing a rainbow, and making a rainbow volcano and kaleidoscope, are good ones and not too hard to do. Some common household items are needed.My son is 10 and we have done a lot of science kits and subscription boxes, so we had already done some version of almost all of the experiments before. So, for us this was more of a review of the concepts. But, it would be great addition to a library, classroom or home for kids who are just learning about rainbows or would like to know more about them.

This book is so cute!!! We were learning all about rainbows for a science unit and wanted some fun projects and experiments and this book was PERFECT! Very well made and the rainbow glasses that came with it are the cutest. Such fun activities inside and learning hidden in play is our favorite.

This delightful, exciting book is packed with brilliant experiments that kids can do themselves with stuff they've got at home. They'll learn a lot--but most important, they'll have tons of fun. The writing is clear, the illustrations are bright, and the approach is original. Buy a copy for the kids, but you can pop on the special rainbow glasses that come with the book and have a great time, yourself. This book is the perfect birthday present!

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2024
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
We love trying science experiments in our family and we love looking for rainbows after the rain, so this book was right up our ally. The pictures are cute and super colorful and the experiments are easy to do using items you should already have in your house. A few experiments we've seen before, and a few new ones.

The wording explains things clearly to kids to them to understand. I learned things too! There was one spot though that irked me. The pages talks about the best time to see a rainbow, then says "Why that time? If the sun is too high then you can't see a rainbow." To me its sort of answering the question with just "Because" . I just feel it doesn't really answer the question, particularly when they explain other things so well.

The kids love the rainbow glasses, though I do wish there were 2 pairs so the kids could try them at the same time.

Overall I think this is a great book and highly recommend.

This fun, entertaining book is filled with creative experiments that children may perform on their own using household items. Not only will they learn a great deal, but they will also have a great time. The approach is unique, the wording is straightforward, and the images are vibrant. Purchase a copy for the children, but you may also enjoy a fun time by donning the rainbow spectacles that come with the book. The ideal birthday gift is this book!

This book is intended for older kids but even a baby will find it interesting because of how colorful it is. You can show the rainbow and talk about the different colors. Later on, we'll play with all different experiments. Even an adult can enjoy reading it.
