Lovely homeschooling book I've read reviews that there's nothing "new" in this book. I'd argue that. As a homeschooling mom, I've read every book out there and was pleasantly surprised to find some new ideas or neat twists on old ideas. Sure, the lessons aren't real in depth and you may wish to supplement with other texts to further explain the experiment, but, it was written for preschoolers!

I am very disappointed in both of them. So, before you read any farther, if you can go see a copy of this before buying it, I would recommend it--then you would know what you're buying. These books would be good if you were in an actually preschool setting, but a lot of the... more info
