Book Reviews of Spy Science: 40 Secret-Sleuthing, Code-Cracking, Spy-Catching Activities for Kids
Book Review: You need a lot of other stuff to use this book
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was great in theory, but you really need to either buy or have on hand a lot of unusual items in order for your kid to really explore all the spy science stuff listed in here. Quite a bit of it is quite lame... even for young kids. I was really hoping this would have some cool spy activities to do - ideas to explore, etc. If you're looking for a book that brings the spy game to the level of kids and breaks down the concepts and you're willing to go the extra mil and work with them through it all... this may be what you're looking for (hence three stars and not two). If you're hoping this is something your kid can do on their own... I don't think so.
