A bit too technical
This book has a bit too much science for a bright eight year oldwho reads well.

perfect for homeschooling
We have quite a few of these books. The kids love them and have worked really well with homeschooling and the things we are studying. They will stay in our home library for a long time.

Bought for Grandsons!
My 5 and almost 7 year old Grandsons loved these Jr. Science books, and wanted to know if I could get more for them. I pulled up Amazon and they picked two more. (6 in total bought) Sections were read and discussed at a time in each of the books. Depending on the interest of the child, I would say that the ages to buy for would be 5-12. However, the adults in our family enjoyed them too.
