Book Reviews of Eureka!: Great Inventions and How They Happened
Book Review: light reading
Summary: 4 Stars
Our older son (8 yr.) likes this book and he's reading all day from it. Nice pictures and good explanations for this age, but a lot of scientific facts are missing.
I recommend the book for ages 7-10 or for a light reading.
