“It's a story and an activity book in one! I love that instructions for each of the experiments is included in the book itself so young scientists can follow along. Clearly aimed at getting girls excited about science, I did think this book relied a little too heavily on gender stereotypes (science doesn't have to include glitter to make it accessible to girls, *eye roll*), but I do think it's a great goal.”
