Series Review: Awesome Activities
"Each slender, appealing book includes 10 to 12 experiments, art projects, magic tricks, and/or costume suggestions. Variations, explanations, fascinating facts, and the odd warning (mostly in Circuits) float on the page but do not get in the way. An energetic, somewhat unusual series."
