In a nutshell

The planet, dinosaurs, nature and animals, human history, chemistry and physics, inventions, astronomy and the human body: eight chapters, with one page per topic, to answer curious kids’ endless “why?” questions.

Along the way come twelve simple experiments, each with its materials, steps and conclusion, to do together with an adult: from a homemade volcano to a lemon battery. A way to go from reading to doing.
