Birthday Month Giveaway on May 25, 2017 - The Gadget Inventor Handbook

My grandsons love to build things with Legos. They love science and science projects tend to get their attention. They get excited about the idea of making things like robots and cook gadgets, so when I saw Sterling Children's Books was releasing a new book about building "gadgets", I knew I had to ask if it was available for review. Happily it was . . . and another copy is available for giveaway as well!

My grandsons are looking forward to working on these projects with their dad - they especially like the directions for building robots and race cars! I love books like this which encourage learning by providing fun activities which engage children . . . and when it is something a dad could get involved with, well, there is no down-side!
