Great for 2nd and 3rd graders

I wanted a book that my first grader, who is interested in science, could read. This book is written so a second or third grader could read it. He was interested enough in the book, the pictures, and the science to stretch a little to read it. The experiments are well laid out, with step by step instructions and colorful pages. Each experiment tells you why it works. Great book for kids interested in science.
