Science Explorers at the Science Fair

Congratulations, Science Explorers!

We know from all the emails we received, that the Science Explorers from Episode 26 (Wolves) were a big hit with kids. So, we thought you'd like to know that Julianna, Lucy, and Aaron recently participated in their very FIRST Science Fair.

Julianna and Lucy worked together to both explain and demonstrate how lightning works. Aaron showed the results of plant mutations he created with irradiated seeds. There were no prizes, grades, or extra credit... it was completely voluntary. Kids were motivated simply by their love of learning and a desire to share that knowledge with others. And their presentations were excellent!

We are very proud of our Science Explorers and can't wait to see what they'll do for next year's Science Fair!

If you'd like to hear Julianna and Lucy again, give Episode 26 another listen. You'll love it!

Pterosaur Trouble!

Are you ready for the next book in Daniel Loxton's Tales of Prehistoric Life series? Well, you're in luck because Pterosaur Trouble is now available!

We pre-ordered ours the moment it became available. Aaron has read it several times both for the wonderful little story and to stare at the gorgeous artwork. Impossible as it may sound, I think the artwork is even better than the first book.

If you or the kids in your life enjoy a little bit of dino-fiction along with your science... then this is the book for you! We intend to collect each and every book in the series.

If you'd like to hear Aaron's review of the first book in the series, Ankylosaur Attack, then be sure to give Bonus Episode 2 a listen.

We highly recommend all of Daniel Loxton's science books for kids...

* Pterosaur Trouble
* Ankylosaur Attack
* Evolution: How We and all Living Things Came to Be

And if your kids are capable young readers, be sure to check out Daniel's excellent work on Junior Skeptic inside each issue of Skeptic Magazine.

Thanks, Daniel. We LOVE the book and can't wait for the next!
