Review Detail

THE WIZARD'S GUIDE TO MAGICAL EXPERIMENTS is an incredibly cool science experiment collection with a touch of magic. The book walks children through various scientific concepts as they give them experiments to try at home (that feel magical!).

What I loved: This is such a clever and cool way to get middle grade readers into science! The theme of wizardry and magic is present on every page with cool illustrations and fun, lift-the-flap details of wizard-like books. These elements add to the magical feeling of a cool science experiment! Science is magic, and this book conveys the cool elements of nature and the world around us with interactive elements to do at home.

The science experiments themselves are simple, using tools and items that most people will have around the house (or classroom). The instructions are clear and easy to follow with some illustrations to help show them along the way. The illustrations themselves both for and outside of the experiments are really fantastic with lots of details and colors that help engage readers throughout the book.

Final verdict: THE WIZARD'S GUIDE TO MAGICAL EXPERIMENTS is a thrilling and educational book that makes science cool and fun for middle grade readers! Highly recommend for at home or in the classroom.
