Talk about coincidence; the very day I picked up this book on hold from my public library, I cleaned out OLD email (2010) and came across the book trailer for this very same book. (which I don't ever recall hearing about until last week) http://blog.schoollibraryjournal.com/afuse8production/2011/01/02/video-sunday-the-best-of-2010/
I like the concept, but watching the book trailer took longer than reading the book. As a former science teacher, I got a kick out of the stereotypical awful science projects some of the other students presented (solar system model, volcano). It's visually very interesting, created by PhotoShop. I was just expecting more.

Oh No! is a great science fiction picture book. I think children from 4-8 years would like this book. The "Science Project" destroys the world (or at least some of it) and it is up to our unnamed "scientist" to find a solution. As you know sometimes the solution is worse than the problem, and in this story it might just be....
The story is simple, but, as they say-"a picture is worth a thousand words" that rings true for this book. The illustrations are amazing and add to the storyline tremendously. If you like science, this book has wonderful artful science diagrams with science text to enhance the work. I think any child who was interested in science would get a kick out of this book. Overall a fun read with great pictures.

I love to see books about girls who are interested in STEM subjects. And this one had me cracking up the whole time, especially when the mind-controlled dogs make an appearance. The story is very cute, and would be great for kids who like comic book-style action.

This one is just a silly hot mess. A girl creates a robot for a science project. She wins, of course, but then it starts destroying the world! So, she scientifically enhances a Toad to take it out. Really, a toad? He's better at being a hero than you might think. But just when the world's safe again, it's the toad's turn to run amok. This book is very funny, and the illustrator is doing some interesting shout-outs to a Godzilla-like Japanese influence. Different, fun, & graphically interesting.

Super funny, and the art is super compelling. Mac Barnett and Dan Santat are both tremendous talents!

Hilarious! I loved this! And I loved the scientific detail added to the end pages. So brilliant.
