A lovely little book, although I think out of print now. I highly recommend it, especially if your child is at a 2 int. reading level or higher. A fictionalized account of Archimedes, there is an appendix which details the liberties taken, it shows how Archimedes thought and what he did, and what led up to his famous quote "Eureka." It takes a humorous view and is a fun book. It would also make an excellent read-aloud for younger children, and prompted a spontaneous science experiment (an almost unheard of happening at my house).
