Let's blow things up!

4 1/2 stars* I am completely joking with that title, lol. All of the experiments in this book are safe for kids and adults alike, no super-duper scientific knowledge is necessary, and they all look pretty fun too! As of writing this I have not conducted any of the experiments myself, however, I have written down all the directions to conduct my own! The art is cute and details the scientific explanations well, but not so much as to bog down the story with intricate drawings. The science was not lost in the dialog either, the narration of the big sister teaching the little brother kept things from getting boring as it was like a friend telling you what to do versus a textbook. I also really liked the sub context of the interpersonal relationship between the brother and sister, their friction and love for one another felt organic, and the mundaneness of their every day life was a nice break from the science. I definitely recommend this if you have a kiddo interested in science, or comic books, as this book is a great way to get any kid interested in science and get hands on experience with it.
