Our review
When Charlotte’s burrow gets crowded, she hypothesizes, tests, and records data to find a solution—turning sibling chaos into a lab lesson. Humor keeps young readers engaged while labeled diagrams introduce real equipment. A built-in experiment guide at the back invites kids to practice variables and observations. Great for teaching that science solves everyday problems.

About this book
From the product listing
Charlotte is a serious scientist. She solves important problems by following the scientific method. She has all the right equipment: protective glasses, a lab coat, a clipboard, and a magnifying glass. What she doesn’t have is space. She has so many brothers and sisters (she is a rabbit, after all) that she is too squished to work on her experiments! Can she use science to solve her problem? This funny, satisfying story is a playful introduction to the scientific method and perfect for sparking an interest in STEM subjects.
