A fun story about experimentation, creativity, and new friends.
Victoria Franken loves slime. She’s known for her creative recipes. But has her latest recipe gone too far?
A delightful spin on the story of Frankenstein. While it is silly and fun, it also works in some scientific elements in the background such as listing the steps of the scientific method and showing the viscosity of slime. Delightful read for a young audience, especially those who love slime. Could easily be used for older children as well to work on scientific concepts while experimenting and making slime.
The artwork is really fun and pairs well with the story. I enjoyed seeing the results of Victoria’s various recipes.
At the end, there are three recipes to make your own slime.
Loved the emphasis on trying different things, persevering through failure, and letting your imagination run wild.
