“I would give it five stars.” –Mira, age 7

“I love the book!’ —Becca, age 7

“Best book ever! I was learning and having fun at the same time!” —Charlotte, age 7

I really, really like this book because there is so much cool stuff in it. I did the card tricks and I liked finding out more about roller coasters and Bigfoot and that you can’t burp in space! We made the sword bookmark because I like to play with swords. I read the whole thing with my mom and she liked it too!” —Ben, age 7

“This is so cool, it’s like a science book but it’s actually useful. We should have THIS in school instead of the boring worksheets.” —Greta, age 8

“I like this book because it gives super cool information about super awesome, cool stuff…. I also love it because it has puzzles and projects. It also helped me identify poisonous plants like poison hemlock which was very helpful.” —Emilia, age 8

“I like that it has all these ideas that we have never thought of.” —Ethan K, age 9

“The warning sign on the cover of The Big Little Book of Awesome Stuff is true. My feelings of boredom were crushed. I definitely recommend it!” —Archer, age 9

“This is the best summer book! There’s so many cool and interesting activities to keep me busy all day! Who knew learning could be so fun? The activities were fun for the whole family! I couldn’t wait to share the cool facts I learned with my friends.” —Sadie, age 9

“…a great book for learning new skills, new crafts and an abundance of Awesome Stuff. For example, instead of washing your bike down with a hose you can build your own drive thru bike wash. The drive thru may take longer to assemble but it will be more efficient and will do a better job of cleaning your bike!” —Molly, age 9
