I have to admit that when I saw this months Parragon Book Buddies choice I was excited. Excited for big man and excited for me. If you don't already know, before children I was a science teacher, so this book is my kind of thing. Big man has inherited my love of science and it is his thing too. I really can't say a bad thing about this book - it is fantastic. It has engaging illustrations and is packed full of fun activities. There are don't to dots, things to make, and measurements to take. Big man was particularly taken by the Goofy Gallery which is full of opitcal illusions.
He also had a go at a memory game. He managed 5 on his first go and Daddy an impressive 8.
There are many more activities for us to try and I have no doubt that he will end up taking it into school at some point when a particular topic is covered. We were already big fans of the Gold Stars Workbooks, and this is a lovely addition to our collection. I would recommend the book to for chilren aged 6-14 as it covers a lot of the KS3 syallabus in an engaging way.
Parragon have kindly offered a copy of the book as a giveaway prize for one of my readers. Just complete the Rafflecopter entry below. Good Luck!
