Review: Good resource for simple machines science unit - This was a nice enrichment book for our simple machines science unit. There is an optional experiment at the end of the book which was nicely laid out. I’d recommend for ages 5-10
Review: Good - It is a great book and it’s a great size the only thing that I can take away is that I wish the cover was a little bit harder because it easily bend.
