Why we'd hand it over

The best entry point to experimental thinking for this age—Ada's smell mystery is genuinely absorbing, and Beaty's rhyme scheme carries reluctant readers without condescension.

What parents said

I genuinely enjoy listening to them and reading them! The author also provides many ideas for further learning and experiments on her website.
