It's good for kids. Not quite as fun as the other books in the HS series tho. But that's maybe because I've studied thisIstuff. I mostly found the history bits interesting. The thought problems are quite nice for kids to puzzle over.

As a child I loved both history and science, so as you can imagine I loved both the Horrible Histories books and the Horrible Science books.
Whilst I did enjoy the Horrible Science books, I never read quite as many as I did the Horrible Histories books. For me, even as a child, the Horrible Science books seemed somewhat second rate to the Horrible Histories books.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re good books. They make learning fun in the same way as their history counterparts, there simply seems to be something lacking. Perhaps it was simply because I read the Horrible Histories first and thought this was trying too hard to be like those books, or it could have been something else – as I’ve said, I’m really not sure.
Still, the Horrible Science books are good for any science-loving child.
