HowlerKarma, you had too much fun writing that post.
Can you come to my house and play with my kid?
I'm not sciency, but I am experimental. Now I wish I were sciency. Humph.
I'm debating asking for similar suggestions for younger? Mine is 3. I don't wanna be annoying or anything, but, like, ya know...

Hi Mich
we started DS on the brainwaves books which are for 9-11 when he grabbed the science one at the science museum and wouldn't put it back. I think he was 4, they didn't make the little kid ones then, and once we started the older books seemed silly to go back. But really like the authors/illustrators and their approach - silly with great science.
Little brainwaves And also, if your DS isn't too destructive with popups,these have nice science too. Called see insides
Space popup They also have the human body and one on how things work - loved the escalator pull out
And have you started the original magic school bus books by Joanna cole - they are from the subject section in the library - not the picture book section, you will find great stuff there. Also go to Hoagies science reading list, good stuff there, I went after posting here and found sme good stuff. I actually have tons of suggestions for this age - but mainly doing the subject sections of the library - basically just start ignoring the age aspect. Oh, and if your DS is like mine, you will start to find problems with older things as they become outdated - no exoplanets, too old!
Another all time favorite
Transformed I can keep going
there are great ones in the ultimate book list too
