The Tuesday Review: "The Secret Science Project that Almost Ate the School", a picture book!

The Secret Science Project that Almost Ate the School by Judy Sierra, pictures by Stephen Gammell




The school year is marked by many events, some exciting and others dreaded. How do you feel about the annual school science fair? If you struggle to find that unique idea that will win the fair you will enjoy reading The Secret Science Project that Almost Ate the School by Judy Sierra.
This picture book follows a “grumpy”, “grouchy”, third grader “thinking grim and gloomy thoughts”, not knowing what her project should be. That is, until she finds the perfect experiment on the Internet, “fully guaranteed to win first prize”!
As you might expect, the results are disastrous, completely unrealistic and humorous. The illustrations by Stephen Gammella are colorful, creative and comical.
