“Ask Max” is a series of books with the boy-genius Max answering different questions relating to the world around us, and offering a lot of trivia fun and information on each subject that will delight children. Geared toward the young astronomer, Max shares the answers to questions such as, What happens during an eclipse? What are the other planets made of? Why is the sky blue?

The weather! It’s always on everyone’s mind. Especially kids, who question everything about God’s creation, and are curious about how and why the weather happens.

Does lightning strike twice in the same place? Can a groundhog predict the weather? What causes rainbows? Just ask Max, he knows!

Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes arrived at our house, and immediately my son snatched it up, ran to get his neighbor friend, and started working on some of the fun experiments in this book, totally captivated.  I believe this is probably the most fun and doable science experiment book I've ever found - one of our "finds" of the year!  Nearly every page has beautiful full-color photos (more than 240) of how to do the experiment, and the results. It also has funny and engaging text that actually teaches how and why these experiments work.  This book is a work of art!
