Customer Reviews

Another terrific title from McGraw-Hill
I love the "Complete Book of" books from MH, and this one is the biggest hit at my house. I homeschool my first grader, and we use this as our main science curriculum. We do the hands-on activities and we use supplemental reading to delve more deeply into each of the subjects. The "Animals" section goes beautifully with their Complete Book of Animals and their Solar System section also corresponds terrifically with The Complete Book of Our Solar System. This is enough material for the core of two years' worth of study, and the activities are bright, engaging, imaginative, and never boring. It's a shame it's out of print now, but it's worth getting a used copy - an excellent value all around. My child ASKS to "do science" now thanks to this book. =)

Excellent for Unit Studies
This book makes learning or relearning (in my case)science interesting and fun. I would not however call it a complete book of science. It is just enough to whet the appetite but you need more resource material to completely cover each topic.

If you are looking for a total package I would not purchase this book. If you want enough to peak your child's interest then this is an excellent starting point.

I find that when I couple this material with internet research on each topic it is much more in depth. I would say it is a good buy for the money.

Great home schooling bonus material!
I am a stay-at-home mom, and I homeschool my Kindergartner and First Grader who both love the "Complete Book of..." series! They find it easy and entertaining, and I love it as a supplemental source of hands-on teaching material. I use these workbooks on our "off days." For example, if the main science curriculum is taught on Mondays, I use the workbooks on Tues in order to keep the flow if information on my kids' minds.

These workbooks are also a good way to keep the kids interested and involved. It breaks up the hum-drum of reading from a textbook and provides a good demonstration of information.

I think the workbooks are fairly comprehensive and detailed, but I don't think I would use them as my main curriculum. They are a fun activity to add to your main teaching sources.

Also, the kids sometimes like to sit down with a workbook on a rainy day! They especially like the brain teasers and science!
