Steam is something this madcap book never runs out of, as it dashes through topics from the Big Bang to the science of floating and sinking

Whatever you need to know, Robert and his Science Squad explain complicated ideas in an easy-to-understand way, making this book the perfect introduction for children starting to learn STEAM subjects in school, or who simply want to know more about the world around them.
*Parent Talk*

A fabulous introduction to a host of STEAM subjects. Chemistry, physics, astronomy, biology, maths, and engineering are all covered. Each page takes a basic STEAM concept and introduces it to its audience in an accessible fashion...It's pitch perfect for its intended age of around 6-11.
