Electricity Experiments for Children 1 review Gabriel Reuben
Dover Publications, 1968
Olde Booke but goode.
The book is dated and so are the experiments. Nevertheless for five bucks you can get a half dozen simple things to do with batteries and wires and bulbs so it's OK for the Mum or Dad who wants to encourage a little ones science interest. Good for a kid 5 to 8 years old I think.
