I really like this book, and my kids do too. C definitely enjoyed it more than R did, but she was happy to play along for a while. I read through it first and set out everything we would need as we read the book. Then, we read the book together and conducted each experiment as we got to it.
It was fun watching C and R think through how to build a solid foundation and also watching them figure out what type of bridge would hold more action figures.
The coolest thing is that after we put the book away, C continued to build a castle of blocks and create bridges based upon the information he learned! That made my day!

I wish there were more books like that series - they are very engaging.
So adding that book to my wish list.
And I love it that our kids have the same toys, I was totally recognizing the soldiers he was supporting.
That book is going on our list of must buy books. I love the concept of having children explore with things in their world.
That book sounds really cool - I think I'll see if our library has a copy. My kids are barely getting old enough to follow along with activities like this.
Sounds like a great series! Hmmm... I wonder if the mini disney dolls would work instead of action figures. :)
Thanks for reminding me - I have to look for that book. I am curious to see if Anna will enjoy it.
Looks like a great book. I love C's extension of the lesson.
Very neat book, my nephew would love it!
Never heard of that series but I certainly think it could be a hit around here. :)
