Wonderful colors and creative writing. It is definitely one for 2nd and up based on some of the words and content mentioned. Great book! ( )

Reading this one to my grands to emphasize that they need TO CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES!

The Secret Project That Almost Ate the School is a book about a young girl who orders a science project off of the internet and as a result, the project eats many things including the school. The girl buys her project off of the internet because she waited until the last minute and did not have time to make her own. This could teach an important lesson about not procrastinating and the consequences that could happen. Also, the project she got was slime, which children love right now, so that could appeal to young readers. I can see how this book is appealing and fun, however, for the purpose of learning something scientific, I did not care for The Secret Science Project That Almost Ate the School. ( )

Unlike most science related books, this book is more on the fictional, make-believe side. In this story, a girl orders a slime monster in attempts to win the science fair, but the slime monster ended up eating all of her family and friends, spewing them out at the end of the story. Although this story is make-believe, and there are no real science concepts mentioned, I still think this could be a fun story to read to students in a science or ela classroom. I would show students how careful one needs to be when creating/working on experiments, and express how not every thing is as what it seems. This is also a book of poetry, which is good to look at in an ela or reading classroom. ( )

The book is about a little girl who needs a science project for her school's science fair. She stayed up late looking for an expirement on the Internet. She wanted her science project to be unforgettable. She found an ad for Super Slime. She order the Super Slime and when it arrived she was so excited she looked in the box and poked the Slime. The slime started to swell at ate her cat, sister, and then her dad. She tried to run away from the Slime but the Slime followed her to school. The Slime started to swallow the other students and their science projects. Then the little girl remember she had the instructions in her back pocket. She then yelled feed it sugar. HSe then shook a soda can and told everyone to hide. The slime swelled a thousand times its size.Then Ka-Floo the Slime vanished in a burst and everyone was thrown all over the place. The little girl didn't win first place in the science fair. She had to stay after and clean up the mess. This book is a good example of science fiction because a science expirement would not eat people and then spit them back out if you gave it sugar.
