The Secret Science Project That Almost Ate the School

Sierra, Judy. The Secret Science Project That Almost Ate the School. Illustrated by Stephen Gammell. Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2006. ISBN 1416911758 $ 16.05.

Sierra’s playful use of language and rhyme bring to life yet another children’s story. She is an expert at weaving rhyme into her story plot. This time, readers will enjoy finding out what happens when you buy a science project off of the Internet. Gammell’s masterful use of watercolors and colored pencils only enhance the tale by incorporating the text making the story almost jump off the page and into your lap. Young and old readers alike are sure to love this cautionary tale about a science project.
