Great sense of humor with some real science thrown in.

Kiddo is 5 and LOVES Frank Einstein - we listened to the audiobook (at least 3 times) but will be looking for the print version so he can see the illustrations ( )

Frank Einstein and the Antimatter Motor is a great read for kids interested in science, robots, or adventure. The book is interspersed with scientific tidbits, diagrams, and the scientific method, which will appeal to brainy kids, but it also includes excellent illustrations by Brian Biggs and short chapters, which will make it appealing to reluctant readers and kids who have difficulty reading.

Everything about Frank Einstein is fun and enjoyable, and the illustrations are bright and cheery.

I look forward to reading the next Frank Einstein book!

Note: I received a digital galley of this book through NetGalley. ( )

This book follows Frank Einstein as he is trying to build a robot that can learn on its own, all inside his grandfather's garage. After a accident in the lab, the robot that he creates Klank and Klink. Klink, a wisecracking robot and Klank, the overexpressed robot try to help Frank perfect his antimatter motor. But then, his archnemesis T. Edison steals the plans and hi-jinks ensue. This is perfect for kids that want to get into science with a humorous story. ( )
