Silly Rabbit! This book is ALSO for kids!
26. September 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
I'm not sure why some readers don't seem to understand that Cy Tymony obviously wrote this book series for kids. Boys, most likely, under the age of 10 or 11.
An audience of that age will find this book quite interesting, like its prequel. I'll repeat, if you've got a Ph.D. in physics, don't buy it. And if you considered the idea, do tell us, how'd you get that Ph.D., again?
The point of this book is to set kids along a discovery path---to find capabilities in everyday objects they might not otherwise have recognized, to think outside the box.
And while not all the suggestions here provide the least bit of interest to an adult, I don't get why anyone would have bought this book expecting to reap a science degree from it. For Pete's sake! This title, like that of Tymony's first book, is also a dead giveaway.
If this book were published by Brown Paper School, like The Book of Think: Or, How to Solve a Problem Twice Your Size, it would also have five stars from all customer reviewers. All right, so Tymony should have labeled the book "for kids" for the dim witted among us. But otherwise, it too deserves 5 stars.
Kids get a big kick out of making something from nothing. Once upon a time, a child could be happy with an old Quaker Oats box as a drum.
In this age when most electronic gadgets hail from China, it's nice to find an author suggesting constructive toys for curious kids.
It teaches them how to look at and listen to the world around them, even if the stuff they make from this book is otherwise "useless."

Better for kiddie-types

Format:Taschenbuch
This is a good bathroom book, but a little too cheesy for adult readers, but there are some neat activities.

Don't waste your money on this book
11. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I bought this along with the author's first "sneaky" book (I'd give the first one two stars) and now wish I had saved my money. Cheesy is the best description I can give. The sneaky uses are completely obvious and, in many cases, too flimsy to survive construction. The author apparently is fascinated with safety pins, magnets, etc. but who needs a book to explain how to make a wire out of a paperclip? Also, the art is as amateurish as the ideas. Not exactly rocket science.
