Summary

Weird, wacky, and wickedly cool...

The fun way to learn about science!

Hey, Einstein! You don't have to be a genius to entertain and educate kids at the same time. Just give 'em The Mad Scientist Handbook -- the greatest collection of creepy crafts, insane inventions, and freaky experiments ever devised. Packed with easy-to-understand instructions and simple illustrations, this engaging activity book will show kids how to: -- Make oozing green slime -- Build a high-speed balloon car -- Cook up delicious edible glass -- Create a tornado machine -- Build an exploding volcano -- Pass an egg through the neck of a bottle without breaking it -- and much more!

Plus, they'll learn lots of weird facts along the way, like how every experiment in this book works and who figured it out first. It's the perfect handbook for every budding mad scientist.
