It’s like the Double Dare obstacle course in book form!

February 13, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

What’s a good way to get your kids interested in life science?  This book about gross stuff that’s printed in purple and green is a good start.

A visit to M.C. Escher Park: The Relativity of Dogs, Cats, and Bunnies

January 30, 2014 by sistercoyote 3 Comments

That’s More Like It, Mary!

January 19, 2014 by anotterchaos 2 Comments

I have no idea why the author & book information was left out; it is there in the draft. Anyway, the book is Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach.
