“Kids looking for something fun to do will find plenty of ideas [and] crisp, retro comic illustrations” in this collection of science experiments (Publishers Weekly). Within these tantalizing pages lie the keys to the mysteries of science. For here, in strange and delectable detail, are dozens of hitherto secret experiments for concocting slimes and putties, inventing miniature robots and transport devices, growing crystal gardens, and many other useful creations—all crafted from widely available household products. *** countertop volcanoes also included*** Where did these wondrous projects originate? Apparently in a shadowy toy research laboratory that once operated out of a tiny island in the South Pacific. The Zoober Laboratory has since vanished, but we recovered its crown a secret notebook—leather-bound, fabulously illustrated, a source of astounding information. Now you too can follow in Professor Zoober’s footsteps . . .
