Very cool reading!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

My six-year-old (or 6.5, to be as precise as he likes to be), Dad, and Mom all LOVED this book! It was exciting for him to read about these things. He thought it was all very cool. But also - he's always been a bit scared of rides, in general, and it seemed to make him feel better/braver when he was able to get some understanding of why amusement park rides are scientifically 'safe'. As far as the level of the scientific explanations, he followed most of the explanations just fine, but Dad and Mom were around while he was reading out loud to enhance the explanations and make them easier to understand, as needed. We invented to real-life 'tests' for what was being explained, so it became pretty interactive. I bought several books from this series and we can't wait to read all of them!

I absolutely LOVE the Scince of Fun Stuff books! They really make learning fun. This is a gift for my nephew for Christmas, and he is going to love it! I was so happy to see that they have one on amusement parks. My nephew is a bit obsessed with amusement parks right now. I highly recommend any of the Fun Stuff books.

Liked introducing science while reading, but ages 6-8 may not get the scientific explanations

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

A good read for kids, but the age range of 6-8 seems a bit low. The words were not too difficult to pronounce, but the scientific explanations seemed to go over the head of my 7 year old.
