I automatically like any book that gets kids interested in science. This book does an exceptional job of not only putting out information but laying it out in an easy to understand, yet still fun way. It starts with how to use the book, the types of tools and materials you may need, and then divides concepts/experiments into categories such as the Natural world, chemistry, etc. I also love how they mention important scientists and try to simply illustrate their ideas and scientific breakthroughs.
