This book contains fantastic activities that can easily be done inside a classroom. They are easy to understand and lots of fun for kids. I developed a mystery unit using this book, and my students loved it.

Not bad, but contains some errors. For example on page 29 thedescription of Radial and Ulnar loops is incorrect. You can'tdifferentiate between the two types unless you know which hand theycome from.
