I saw co-creator of this book, Saul Griffith once talk about the importance of making science and the future "awesome" for kids.This book goes a long way towards that goal.There are three ways to appreciate this book.First, just as a comic. The art and writing are top-notch. Fun and bright, it's engrossing and a treat to read and enjoy. Nick Dragotta and the other artists put together beautiful, cohesive art.The second way to look at it as a project book. These aren't glue-felt-on-cardboard kinds of projects. This shows you how to build homemade bottle rockets (and subs), a kite, origami-bots and even ice cream.The last way (though probably not truly the last, there are so many ways to appreciate this book) is educational. You learn a ton of great stuff about science and art through HowToons. More importantly, that learning is fun, not boring.
I liked the howtoons feature in Make magazine, so when I saw this book I purchased it for my 12 years old daughter. She loves it!It is fun to browse and I am sure it will provide several fun and intellectually active afternoons.
This is too repetitive. It covers the same materials as the previous volume.
Great book, lots of fun projects to work on with my 6 year old boy.
Exactly as described! Would buy again!
Very cool book!
