Synopsis: This book tells the story of a young girl, Libby, and her friends who volunteer to run the science booth at their school fair and have some great ideas, but Libby does not always follow directions precisely. The story includes instructions for five experiments that the reader can try at home, as well as a glossary of terms. Ages 4 to 8.

Response: This book would be a lot of fun for older elementary school students. With the five experiments laid out in the story, this could easily be incorporated into a science unit. The protagonist being a young lady of color is wonderful and the supporting cast is pleasingly diverse, as well. The illustration style is pretty and spunky and should appeal to young readers. ( )
