perfect silliness level to keep him engaged

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2017

My son is a voracious reader. We got him 7 of the Basher Science books for his 8th birthday in late March. He had finished them all by the end of April and has picked them back up again to reread. (2nd grade, reading at a U-level) He won't touch a fiction book unless forced, but if it is about science or technology he can't put it down. Just enough pictures to keep him from feeling intimidated by the text, perfect silliness level to keep him engaged, and more real science facts than he could absorb the first time through.

Great Book, BUT NO POSTER!

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2015

I HIGHLY recommend these Basher books!!! My son LOVES THIS ONE ESPECIALLY!!!! It's an easy and interesting read with wonderful illustrations!!! BUT.......I gave this a low 2 stars because I ordere THIS BOOK, that was suppose to include a poster as it states clearly on the cover. I needed it for my class, BUT THE BOOK I RECIEVED WAS NOT this exact book :(!!! It did NOT have the pink banner on the corner of the cover that said, there was a poster included, and there was NO POSTER INSIDE :(. I was VERY disappointed!!!

Wonderful book for my 6 year old

Wonderful book for my 6 year old. Perfectly written, illustrated and informative without being too overwhelming for a child. I would say this book would be one that would take my 6 year old into middle school, as the information will grow with him as he grows. He can take the more simple information for what he needs, and then comprehend the entirety of the book as he gets older.

My students love these books AND I love these books! I have students who reach for them when they are done completing classwork, after tests and in study hall. I teach 7th grade science and I am constantly using these as in class references to explain topics to students who may not understand; these books put vocab into kid friendly terms that aren't intimidating. I currently own around 8-10 of the science themed books from Basher, I buy them as they get published and have been building my "library" for about 5-6 years now. These would make an excellent gift for any kid, a teacher or yourself for that matter. They have amazing graphics, are excellently written and are well made/bound.

My son LOVES these books. The 8x8 size is also inviting. Cute characters introduce difficult ideas. My son wants the whole series. I have to admit the layout makes me curious, to see who is included in what. And it explains those new planets, and the sad demotion of our dear Pluto, and the various things that we didn't know about (kupiter belt, anyone?)

This is a nice companion to any series, and it's also a quick reference. One of those "coffee table books" for kids, that they only pick up because of the nifty cover, but then spend more time in it because it's got some humor and interesting facts. One of those good examples of science well presented doesn't need a lot of whistles and bells, it's just cool in and of itself.

Great refresher for me, and teaching tool for our 7-8 year old

I've been using it for night reading to our 8 year old, and in preparation for some star gazing (and I can do some night photography). I have some of the science and nature-related Basher's as well; and we'll expand into those. It's helpful to me in our conversations. Well done.

Kids Love These Books

These Basher Science books are super great for a classroom library. I teach 4th graders, they love the half dozen or so of these books that we have. I do a little preview and the kids are hooked! Gotta love it when they don't realize they are even learning.

I bought this book, my second copy, to gift to another elementary aged child. The first one I gifted was so well received I knew this would be a safe bet to gift to another.

Basher books are the best

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2015

My daughter absolutely loves all the Basher books. They covered astronomy in her 4th grade class and saw that there was a Basher book on the subject. She asked for the book, I didn't tell her I was going to buy it. It arrived just as summer break was starting. I was opening my Amazon package, placed the book on the dinging table, she passed by and squealed with delight. I don't often see that look on her face.
