If you give your kid a Sassafras Science Adventures book...

If you give your kid a Sassafras Science Adventures book, he’ll take one look at the animals on the cover and want to read it.

He’ll grab it out of your hands and disappear to his room.

Hours later he’ll emerge and regale you with tales of adventures, weaving in the science he’s learned along the way.

He’ll ask you a question about giraffe saliva, which is okay because you have the activity guide. 

You’ll pull it off the shelf and follow the directions for the experiment.

You’ll take pictures of him as he plays and observes.

You’ll ask him what he’s learned. 

You’ll add his words and the picture to the project page in the SCIDAT logbook.

He’ll see what you’re doing and want to add more. 

You’ll have to get out the coloring pencils and work with him to create pages for the giraffe, the lion, and the grasslands.

At the end of the semester, you’ll have a beautiful scrapbook of what he learned about animals.

It will sit on your bookshelf until years later your grandchildren discover the keepsake memento.

They’ll open it up and flip through the pages. 

They’ll ask you questions and want to know more about the Sassafras Twins.

You’ll pull down your worn copy of Volume One: Zoology.

And if you give your grandchildren a Sassafras Science Adventures book, they’ll take one look at the animals on the cover and want to read it.
