"Janice VanCleave's are great books!" according to Debbie Cernick. Her books are always great. Good ideas. Easy to follow instructions. Easy to find materials. good for a variety of ages. Wonderful! Paul I've really enjoyed this little book. It has all kinds of projects for using magnification devices for exploring the natural world. I heard that it is out of print and hope that either this is misinformation or that the publisher goes to another printing.. Michael R. Westover said Grandson loves it!. This book is a great asset to the Discovery Microscope. My grandson enjoys both and the book is a great teaching tool.
