Zap This Science Book!

This isn’t your ordinary science book. And that’s exactly why kids will love it.

This Book Will Get Messy: Science invites curious experimenters ages 7-10 to test, tinker, and get gloriously messy while learning how the world works. Instead of focusing on perfect results, it celebrates splats, spills, and spectacular surprises as real science in action.

Organized into five themes—Sticky & Slime, Boom & Zoom, Glow & Shine, Grow & Change, and Secrets & Codes—the book includes 45 interactive experiments. Kids might build balloon rockets, create color-changing cabbage juice, grow sugar crystals, launch mini catapults, or hide secret messages in slime. Each page is designed for maximum fun, blending simple instructions with doodle space, bonus challenges, and plenty of room for chaos.

Whether used at home, in classrooms, or at camp, this book transforms everyday materials into science labs full of discovery. With its playful design and hands-on activities, it empowers kids to explore, invent, and make every page uniquely theirs.

The second title in the This Book Will Get Messy series from SkyTree Book Fairs and Bushel & Peck Books, Science champions curiosity, courage, and creativity—one wild experiment at a time.
