I liked this book for two reasons. First, I liked how it is a book about things you can do at home, it is an activity book. It gives recipes for experiments you can do at home with food. For example, one of the experiments is to make synthetic cola at home. It gives a paragraph or two about information on synthetic cola, then it tells you the materials and equipment you will need and then the experiment itself. It is almost like a cookbook, so it is something familiar to me. I also like this book because although it is a chapter book, it has pictures. For example, it has a part titled Cottage Cheese: Whole Versus Skim Milk, for the procedure it has over ten pictures showing you different parts of what you are doing. When I am following instruction, it is always easier for me to know what I am doing when I have picture showing me and words telling me. ( )
