 Fergus and Zeke love being the class pets in Miss Maxwell’s classroom, and they do everything the students do — listening at storytime, painting masterpieces during art class, and keeping their own special journals. But when it’s time for the school science fair, the mice aren’t sure just how to get involved. Lucy wants to time them as they run through a maze, but they want to do an experiment, not be an experiment. Then Zeke comes up with a great idea: since Lucy is training animals for her experiment, maybe he and Fergus can do the same thing! Unfortunately, the only animals available are the students themselves. Can Fergus and Zeke turn the tables and train Lucy in time for the science fair?

Don’t forget to check out the first book in the series, Fergus and Zeke.

My Review:

A book for early readers, Fergus and Zeke at the Science Fair tells of two mice named, well, Fergus and Zeke.  They are classroom pets and get excited when they learn the class is doing a science fair.  They want to participate too, especially after hearing what each student plans on doing.  

One of the girl students decides her fair project is going to involve the mice.  Fergus and Zeke go along with it for a while, then decide to turn the tables and make it into an experiment of their own.  

This book is a lighthearted story that brings science to light.  Readers are briefly introduced to science fairs and what they might entail.  I like how Fergus and Zeke decide their project will be to "train" a child, and what they do to make that happen.  It's a cute story about science, with silly mice added to the mix.

Win It!

One person will win a Fergus and Zeke at the Science Fair children's book.
