Let's begin with the things I liked about this book. None of the experiments were overly complicated; the pictures and instructions were very clear, and I felt like the intended age group would be able to clearly understand them. There were a couple of experiments, like the lemon volcano, that would be great for STEM programs at the library. Now for what I didn't care as much for, the book is very short. I know it's a children's book but still, there are only 8 experiments and some of them, like the edible paper, require ingredients that most people are not going to have lying around the house (brown rice flour). I would still recommend the book to a patron who was looking for easy science experiments but I would probably feel the need to find them something else to go along with it.

This is a very short book, there is only 8 experiments to do with your kids in it. The experiments are good, particularly the volcano and edible paper one, this last one I had never seen. They are very well presented with great picture-by-picture presentation. You really want to do them with the kids, they are very easy to manage, clear to understand and children are excited about the whole process, There is a little paragraph about what science each experiment teaches, which is nice, but I would have liked a little more on that.
While what is there is very high quality, the book still feels a little lacking, I think it could have done with more experiments.

Well illustrated little book of science fun in the kitchen. Eight projects are well explained and illustrated. Great ideas for young kids. Wish there were more activities.

This is a fun kids science book to do in the kitchen. The pages are very colorful, full of photos and it looks very fun for the little ones. There are only 8 projects and it's a small book with only about 30 pages but you could do one project a day. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This book was a fun guide to different experiments to try at home. This book has lots fun things to try and I can't wait to do them. I also have never done a lemon volcano which seems wild!

THank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with and arc for an honest review.

This is a cute little science book! It's short--only about 30 pages with 8 experiments, but I think that helps to keep it really manageable. The photos are clear and colorful and the instructions are easy to follow--even for this less-than-science-minded adult, I will have no trouble guiding my children. Really looking forward to adding these experiments into our home/remote learning in the coming weeks!

Thank you to NetGalley, Lerner Publications and Niki Ahrens for making this copy available for review.
