Danny Dunn Series
Has anyone read...
Has anyone read any of the Danny Dunn books? They're a series about a boy whose father died when he was very small, and so for as long as he can remember, he has lived at the house of a famous professor with his mother. Professor Bullfinch is a rather eccentric character who has taught Danny about many aspects of science. Every new thing he learns, it seems, is then put to the test in a strange adventure. For instance, in one book, he and Professor Bullfinch discover an extremely strong circular magnet. Somehow, this discovery turns into a quest (with Danny's friends Joe and Irene and the Professor's friend) to find a mythical-or maybe not so mythical-giant thing in the heart of Africa.
Very interesting, slightly educational, and vividly enthralling! I recommend them.
Danny Dunn and the Swamp Monster (the one I'm reviewing here.)
Danny Dunn and the Anti-Gravity Paint
Danny Dunn and the Automatic House
Danny Dunn and the Weather Machine
There are several more, but those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I wonder why I keep talking to myself?
(May 31, 2009 - 7:22 pm)
I'm not really sure.
(May 31, 2009 - 7:22 pm)
It's kind of fun though.
(May 31, 2009 - 7:23 pm)
Really? It is?
(May 31, 2009 - 7:23 pm)
Hey!!!
(May 31, 2009 - 7:23 pm)
Quit talking to me!

I'm not talking to you, you're talking to me!
