Customer Reviews
Great Book
Well worth the money. It's one of those books that you start flicking through and find yourself still there and hour later. It is laid out with products alphabetically shown. The index covers items need sorting. Great book and really unusual solutions e.g. rubbing peanut butter in to chewing gum stuck in hair. Each page has a "Did you know" piece which gives some facts on the products on that page. There are also Science bits dispersed throughout the book with things you can make and do with youngsters e.g. an alka-seltzer rocket. Some stuff you may well of heard of before and other stuff is just plane and simple weird!!
top class
