Customer Reviews

Summer Fun!

We got one of these books as a gift and then it was so battered that I am buying another for this summer. We have a pool in our back yard and when the kids get tired of swimming, we open the book and experiment. We have even taken it to my mom's lakeside cottage and used it there. My kids love it and I love it because theya re having fun LEARNING!

FUN AT THE BEACH

We bought this book at the beach and could not believe how much more fun the beach was. We learned things that were new and VERY interesting about the ocean and the life that surrounds it. We take this book to the pool and also do experiments. This book is great to teach children easy science theories with water and in places where children play in water. We use it at home and on vacation. Love it!

A MUST FOR THE BEACH

When we pack for the beach, this book is the first thing we put in the suitcases. Our children have used this book for two summers and they never tire of it. In fact, my husband and I LOVE the b ook as well. We have learned so much about the beach. It is a great book for at home experiments with water as well, but we save it for the beach!
