Customer Reviews

This book is a great way for children to engage in maths and physics.
Any way to get childen to absorb the topics of Maths and Physics without them being aware is to be applauded! I found that it worked better if I read a topic first then talked about it with them and let them go and read more on their own.
I have now put the book in the bathroom so it can be picked up and browsed!
