Review

Ruff Ruffman from PBS Kids is back with more educational and fun science activities. The book begins with a Table of Contents divided into cleverly entitled sections which include: AB-RUFF-CA-DUB-Ruff, In the Doghouse, Who Let the Dog Out etc.

Lab Rules, brainstorming ideas, the Scientific Method, and note taking tips are introduced at the very beginning of the book. Each of the 44 science activities have challenge points which indicate the level of difficulty of each activity. An index by subject is at the end of the book. And a list of materials needed and where to go to purchase them, after looking around the house for them first. Fetch is pictured throughout the book in an encouraging and light hearted poses to cheer the young scientist on.

After checking out this book at the library children and parents will want to rush to the store to pick up a copy. Recommend.

Overall Book Score: very good
