This book has tons of interesting looking projects and activites. Supply lists and clear directions are included. The only problem I have with this book is that the book is targeted to British children. Nothing wrong with this whatsoever except that my son got so frustrated with the first project that he tried to build that he didn't want to try any others. The project called for using a two liter bottle. No problem - had a ton of them in the recycling bin. Try as he might he couldn't get the two-liter bottle to fit with all the other parts. Then we noticed that the bottle in the picture looked somewhat different than the common, average American 2-liter bottle everyone has in their fridge or recycling bin. It looked different because it was a British 2-liter bottle and they are longer and thinner than their American counterpart. Then we looked at the publisher's information and found that the book was indeed published in Britain. Maybe this sounds trifling, but it threw the whole project off and turned my son off the book.
