Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor (Frank Einstein #1): Book One (Volume 1)

My seven year old and I read this book on a regular basis – chapter by chapter. Instead of dreading reading the boring books I’ve honestly found this one to be quite entertaining. It’s a great combination of education and humor that both my child and I enjoy. It’s a very silly book but I feel great reading it to my child because of how educational it is and how much it seems to light a fire in his imagination. A hilarious book that’s an absolute homerun for kids and parents!

Jon Sciezka is such a fun read for any age. This series is a wonderful addition to any library. My 7yo loves science, so the blending of formulas and diagrams within the story was thrilling for her. The story itself is good. The characters are funny with strong opportunity for some crazy voices when reading aloud. We had a great time reading this book!

One always knows that a book with the name Scieszka on is bound to be entertaining. And Frank Einstein is no exception. The boy scientist/inventor and his grandfather have much in common with their namesake Albert Einstein, including their love of science (not to mention the wild hair). Frank and his best friend, Watson, are determined to win the Midville Science Prize in order to save Grandpa Al's house/lab. After inadvertently creating a couple of robots it seems that the Prize may just be within reach. But unbeknownst to Frank, his rival T. Edison is determined to thwart his efforts and take the prize for himself and Frank's project could change both their worlds in the process.There is a lot of science mixed in with the story and that could have bogged the story down, but thanks to Scieszka's explanations and Bigg's diagrams, it doesn't. In fact, I learned some things I didn't know, even after all my schooling. This book is perfect for budding scientists and for all readers just starting to realize that one doesn't need big muscles to be a hero. Recommended.

Jon Scieszka is a very good children's book author. He visited my son's school recently and really engaged their interest and got them into the stories he's written. My son not only liked this book but was then encouraged to go get Knuckle Head after his visit. His books are very funny, obviously since my third grader was laughing out loud during most of the Knuckle Head one. We will definitely be watching for more to come from this author.

I purchased this book for my 4th grade classroom library. There has been a waiting line of kids who wish to check it out for extra credit reading.I’m always impressed with authors who can hold young reader’s attention like this!

I gave this book to my grandson, who loves science and outer space. He started reading it almost right away. He loved it, and couldn’t wait til he got the second book in the series.

My 9yr old son loved it! He finished it in a couple weeks, already ordering the next book for him.It's an easy read and fun book for kids around his age.

Reads awkwardly. But my son enjoyed it. He didn’t ask for the next one so o guess that sums it up.He usually loves series and asks for all of them.

Good illustrations, often very funny, and story liked by kids.

Super book for young kids interested in the genre. The sad part is that other books in the series are not easily available and you have to take time and make efforts to find them once you feel addicted to the series. Very interesting and relatable to kids. I also enjoyed reading it alongside my 9 years old.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 8YR OLD GRANDSON WHO IS VERY INTO TECHNOLOGY. HE LOVES IT SO MUCH I HAVE JUST ORDERED THE NEXT ONE. I DO HOPE THE AUTHOR WILL CONTINUE WITH FRANK EINSTEIN, ,HOPEFULLY THESE BOOKS WILL ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO ENJOY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

My kid absolutely loved it.

The book that turned by 10 year old son into a reader. Jon Scieszka succeeded where JK Rowling failed.
