Anyone looking to help their kids gain an early appreciation for science will enjoy Basher Science Sticker Book: Science that Sticks!.
The book introduces young scientists to friendly superstars and contains over 60 removable stickers featuring Manga-inspired characters, each with its own crazy personality. Basher combines European graphic design with Japanese creation. Each character’s sticker fits into one of the following scenes: Solar System, Rocks and Minerals, Oceans, Weather, Astronomy, Planet Earth or a Physics and Chemistry lab. A colorful periodic table featuring every element aids in memorization. In the Rocks and Minerals section, kids will meet Talc, Diamond and Serpentine while learning about the Mohs scale of hardness. Four full pages of stickers provide informative, interactive fun for the whole family or classroom.
