Tinkering: Kids Learn by Making Stuff (Make)

First of all, the contents of the book look awesome. There are tons of projects with a good range of difficulty. I believe it would be a great book for any kid (or adult!) who likes 'tinkering' and building random projects. There are very detailed descriptions of the projects to explain how everything works, and how it relates to the real world.One thing to note, is that I was expecting a bit more pictures, and less words. If purchasing for a younger child, just know that they will likely need some adult assistance with the projects.The one negative comment I have is in the quality of the print. The book I received is completely misshapen. The Right side edge is roughly a quarter of an inch larger than the left side. The printing on EVERY page is crooked, including the cover. It's like it was printed in the basement with consumer level equipment. Or the pages were cut out by a child. That's the only reason I've deducted 1 star from my review.... Although I'm still not convinced it's worth subtracting an entire star. But definitely worth noting.Would this stop me from purchasing the book? Not at all. It's the quality of the content that is really important. But for the price... I'd expect better quality from the publisher.

A good starter book to get kids thinking about making. It has some ways to expand and explore with decent explanations on how things work.

Lots of cool projects.

My 12 year old son loves to create and tinker. This book has great ideas with pictures.

Must have for anyone that works with younger students. STEAM lessons galore!

gift for son who coaches robot club for elementary age kids, hope it has some good ideas

I like looking through these kind of books. Some interesting ideas in this one. Worth getting.

Perfect condition, great ideas for my 9 year old inventor

Not a great book as the ratings suggested. The black and white printing makes it very hard to figure out the projects. No preview of the pages were available. Definitely not worth the price.

Bought this for my grandson, as he is always making things. Lots of good ideas in the book.

Bought as a gift. Seems to be interesting to the young person who received it.
