Reviews

[Green Jazz Blues · Rating 3 out of 5]

Actually, I'd give rating between three and four stars for this book.
This humourous science book is aimed at young primary school age children and is quite informative.
Probably the idea of the Barmy Baron and his assistants is a bit ridiculous but like all the Horrible Science (and Horrible History and Horrible Geography series) it provides the reader with fantastic fun facts that you never learn in the boring science/history/geography lessons you get at school. Indeed, the presentation is quite unforgettable! I promise you you'll be squirming about the untold horrors that reside in your own house!
BTW, the reason it took me three days is not because it's a long book; I just got seriously interrupted and could only read it in small portions.

Gruesome and gross - everything children enjoy. I remember being a fan of these books when I was younger and much like Horrible Histories they have a good variety of different texts and quizzes. Ideal as a supplementary read.

So if you like disgusting stuff this book is for you.
