The How and Why Wonder Book Of
Beginning Science
Notkin
1960

Okay all you budding science nerds! Filled with simple experiments and some retro illustrations, you can see these Stepford kids growing up to be kick ass scientists or possibly robots. Aside from the illustrations, my favorite page is on safety tips that really aren’t about working with dangerous materials or lab related safety. It’s an extra page to remind kids not to kill themselves by being stupid.  Who needs protective safety glasses when you might have to be using a penny to get your fuse box running.
