[Beth · Rating 4 out of 5]

A 'must-read' for all primary school teachers - 4.5*

Embedded misconceptions, teaching ideas and theory - what more could you want from a science book?

The only reason it doesn't have 5* is because it follows the old National Curriculum, which we no longer follow. For that reason only, it's a 4.5*.

I would like to buy the updated version if they ever decided to make a new one...
