Today I’m on the blog tour for Mr Shaha’s Recipes for Wonder by Alom Shaha. It’s a great fun book, full of things to do with bits and bobs around the home.
Book Description
Why does the …? What is …? How does …?
Don’t worry if you don’t know the answers, you soon will!
Every child can be a scientist with the help of Mr Shaha and his recipes for wonder!
Turn a rainy day at home or a walk in the park into a chance to experiment. All you need are a few simple items from your kitchen cupboards — and the power of curiosity!
Learn about sound by making wine glasses sing, investigate chemical reactions with vitamin-powered rockets, and explore Newton’s Third Law by making balloon-driven cars.
Written by a science teacher and dad, Mr Shaha’s Recipes for Wonder gives clear, step-by-step instructions for over 15 experiments. Whether you’re a science star or just starting out, it will help you inspire young people to learn.
Get the whole family joining in around the table, as you transform your kitchen into a laboratory!
My Review
Mr Shaha’s Recipes for Wonder Is such an exciting book. So many things to do with kids, perfect for a rainy day, or snow days like we had last week! The book is wonderfully illustrated and with many diagrams to help you along. There is quite a lot of text to go alongside the experiments so I would recommend it for ages 8+ children any younger would struggle with the text I would think.
As an adult interested in Science I found reading the book, very refreshing and rewarding, it’s too young for baby girl to take part in, but she happily sat next to me looking at the pages as I was reading along.
