Can't wait to try this recipes with our kids at the library. The recipes are easy - perfect in words and pictures. And I love all the little science bits to share with the kids too.
The recipes are simple and easy to follow. And most of the supplies are easy to find it you don't already have them.

This book is perfect! It is colorful and easy to use. The directions are to the point and let us know everything we need. When you get this book and go through the pages you will easily find what you need to enjoy the creation of SLIME. There are so many types to make and it is here. Create it for fun, create it for a spooky haunted house or create it for a slimy birthday time. Whatever the reason you what to have slime in your life this is the book to help.

FABULOUS! Me and my kiddos tried about half of the recipes in here and they were so excited with how they came out it kept them entertained for hours! I would totally recommend! I even gave some recipes to my kids teachers.

I really think kids and parents will enjoy making the slime in this book. It includes many different recipes including glow in the dark ones and edibles ones. The book is bright and colorful. Easy to follow and the steps are clearly labeled. I haven't read any other books on slime but so far this one seems really easy for kids to follow even without parental help. Good book for families to use together. Just wish it had more recipes.

This is a great book for someone who is just starting out with slime, and who hasn't seen all of the tutorials on Youtube and/or Instagram. I was hoping it'd have some good recipes, and it's basically the same starter base with just added in colors, and few other things to make them a little bit different.

My daughter loves making slime, so everything in this book, she's already have heard about and have made on her own. She still enjoyed looking through it with her younger sisters. She liked the pictures and the layout, but I wasn't too fond of them. It is geared towards kids so I think that the layout works. The pictures were a little bit blurry, but it still shows what the slime would look like. We were excited for the "edible" slime, but there weren't that many and nothing jumped out to us, so we just didn't really try them yet.

Overall, if you and/or your child have already made slime, there's no need for this book, but for a true beginner, this book is great and does the job.

This just might be the definitive book of slime.. Many recipes including instructions for making glitter, glow in the dark, edible and even bubbling swamp slime!. Wonderful detail illustrations accompany each recipe as well as scientific information and facts.

The Slime Book does contain over 30 "recipes" for Slime and is great for young (5-9) kids. There are little science bits and tips throughout the book. However, most are derivative of the basic Slime recipe. The majority are PVA glue, contact solution, and baking soda. The main differences in the recipes are what color you add, glitter or no glitter, and different small toys put in. That covers over half the book. Out of the 3 shaving cream recipes I was hoping for one that was a bit firm. No luck. There were also only 4 edible slime recipes. The rest (maybe 4) are just miscellaneous recipes of cornstarch, gelatin, facemasks, etc.
Overall, a retail price of $10 might be a bit much for such a basic book. Especially when most recipes can be found online for free. The younger end of the suggested age range will probably enjoy this more than the older end.

The Slime Book: All You Need to Know to Make the Perfect Slime by DK is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary. This is a book I am getting my grand kids! It opens up with showing all the different slime recipes and the tools you will need. Wow, are there a lot of recipes! The tools are simple and most of them you probably have. The slime come in two categories, non-edible and edible! That's right, some you can eat! Some non- edible include: basic, stretchy, fluffy (looks like shaving cream...wanting to put my hands in that myself!), see through (gross, looked like...), putty, starry, crunching, smelly, glitter, popping, shades, gold, unicorn, sand, metallic, monster, snow, fake snot (gross), and more. It looks like kids (and adults) would have lots of fun playing with this. The edible ones include: chocolate goo, sticky icky tasty slime, the bear necessities, and striped slime. At the end it tells you how to store your slime and easy clean up. It also gives you tips if your slime didn't work the way you wanted it to. Awesome close up pictures and step by step instructions. I know my grand kids will love this!

My kids love slime, so this was an awesome read to learn how to make it! 30 different kids!

This book is a great way to introduce slime making to school age children. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The illustrations support the content well. Different slimes may entice children to make them first based on glow in the dark, sound effect, edible, or other qualities. Warnings are present when necessary. There are plenty of options and "fixes" if your slime is not behaving as expected. This is sure to appeal to young scientists, and parents will appreciate the reminders to keep things clean (including your hands) and dispose of any mess.
