Wonderfully silly, and demonstrates proper scientific methods. ( )

This book looks at a girl and her whacky experiments, from trying to throw bologna like a frisbee to watering plants with perfume. We see Her question, hypothesis, and the materials she uses to conduct her experiments. Her results never go as expected, and it's cool that students get the chance to see what happens when even the best looking experiment on paper doesn't work like you thought. ( )

children's picture book/the scientific process. Best for older kids who can comprehend or start to comprehend the scientific process; this charmingly illustrated picture book demonstrates the question, hypothesis, materials, procedure, and results (in very basic terms) of a girl's experiments with growing fungus, the effects of yodeling loudly during boring car rides, flushing a message-in-a-bottle down the toilet, and other adventures. Recommended. ( )

Our protagonist is slightly less psychopathic in this book than in [b:17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore|196092|17 Things I'm Not Allowed to Do Anymore|Jenny Offill|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1437753336s/196092.jpg|189656], and she shows a pretty good grasp of the scientific method. She even uses a control group when trying to find out if plants like Eau La La perfume better than water! She concludes that they do not. I love the endpapers that show her Rube Goldberg setup to put bologna on her sandwich and what actually happened when she tried it out. ( )

One of my 6 year old daughter's favorite books, this one gets wackier and wackier until it reaches its destructive, hilarious ending. Not for pearl-clutching parents or children who are easily inspired to mischief! An author-illustrator dream team. ( )
