Energy book giveaway!
The guys were testing this week. I know what you’re thinking: Kids are challenging every day. Yuk, yuk, yuk. Yes, they are. But my guys were taking their end-of-year exams this week.

Winner of the DuneCraft plant kit is…
…going to be announced in a second. First, I get to do the closest thing I’ll ever have to an acceptance speech. I want to thank my parents, my agent…<smack>…oops, caught in a daydream there. Here’s my real speech: I want to thank everyone who played to win the Tea House. This thing is so cool, I want to keep it for myself. Can I say the winner is me? No? Bummer.

The first is a book I wrote, Planet Earth: 25 Environmental Projects You Can Build Yourself. I know what you’re thinking (“Sigh. Another one of your books, Kate?”).

Book giveaway: The Human Body
To mark the Grand Opening of the Polka Dot Suitcase, I’m giving away one of my books, The Human Body: 25 Fantastic Projects Illuminate How the Body Works. It’s geared toward kids from 9-12, but no matter how old you are, tell me you don’t want to learn how to make homemade skin care products or find out what happens if you decalcify a bone? And do you really want to just be squirting some … Read entire article »
