200605021808 Martin Gardner is one of my favorite writers. Like a kinder, gentler James Randi, Gardner is a master hoax debunker, but he also delights in recreational mathmatics, paradoxes, brain teasers, science and philosophy.

As a child, I read and loved Entertaining Science Experiments with Everyday Objects before I knew who Gardner was. I'm sharing the experiments in this book with my eight-year-old daughter. Make one wooden match penetrate another! See through your hand! Push a quarter through a dime-sized hole!

Can you believe how cheap this book is? $3.95 on Amazon
