Welcome to the world of fifth-grader Adam "Einstein" Anderson, Science Detective. Einstein enjoys some of the same things many kids do, such as baseball. He also tells jokes that make people groan. But his favorite thing to do is solve mysteries using what he knows about science. People always challenge Einstein with riddles and puzzles. Pat, the class bully, bets Einstein 10 arm punches that he can lift a heavier weight. Mr. Janus claims that space people took him to the moon. Margaret, Einstein's best friend, says she has invented a shrinking machine. In every case, Einstein uses science to outsmart his challengers. Author Seymour Simon introduces Einstein Anderson to the world with the 10 lively and challenging stories in this book. Kids will learn that science can be fun and that thinking is always better than fighting. Narrator Johnny Heller's charismatic reading is the perfect match for Einstein's humor and wit.
