👍 Worth It

The household-materials approach is the right call for a children's STEM series — it removes the barrier of specialized supplies and puts the emphasis where it belongs, on curiosity and doing. The 12-volume scope shows a serious commitment to breadth, and QED/Quarto's track record in children's educational publishing is solid. The absence of independent critical reviews keeps this at a solid-but-not-certain recommendation.
