Review # 1 was written on 2019-07-30 00:00:00 Arthur Cruz This 1974 collection of science fiction themed stories and essays curated by Ray Bradbury seems to have been some sort of hailing to the establishment of science fiction as a real genre that was here to stay. The diverse selections of this compilation really underline that and thus make it so great to me. I could do without a few of the essays, but I did read almost all of them and sort of enjoyed them for what they were. It even features science fiction themed poetry, containing 'machines of loving grace' by Richard Brautigan and others. Beyond the aim of this compilation to sort of claim science fiction as a 'real' thing that was here to stay, the selection of stories in this book is just great. I also love how everything is presented with silly, little minimalist illustrations. Must read stories include: The Gun Without a Bang by Robert Sheckley, Crabs Take Over the Island by Anatoly Dnieprov, The Sack by William Morrison, The Sound Machine by Roald Dahl, The Inn Outside the World by Edmond Hamilton, and many others.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-03-25 00:00:00 Pierre Gr�goire This is an interesting twist to your normal cookbook. The recipes are also science experiments and I really think the kids would get a kick out of doing one of the experiments in the book. I felt that the book was hard to read the way it was laid out. The idea of the book would be good for 4th to 6th grade as a guided reading book.
