Customer Reviews

JUST LIKE THE "OLOGIES"

I had read and collected all the ologies and when I saw other books creating the "Ology" theme, I grew upset seeing how other people had made cheap versions but BOY I WAS WRONG WITH THIS ONE. This book can pass off as an ology anyday. I love how the journal is filled with sooo much history, eventhough I doubt schwarzenegger will be on the new half-dollar in the year 2051. It fills me with pleasure showing these off to friends like me who still have a little bit of "kid" in them and how we even look up what's fact from clever fiction. The pocket watch is wonderful. It's built to last unlike one you would expect in a children's book and the engraving on the back has a nifty quote. I would suggest this book for anyone between six and one-hundred!

Son loved it

My son loves these types of books. The book is very interactive. The backwards running pocket watch is really cool.

Fun pocketwatch

I actually didn't buy the book. I found the pocket watch on the ground, and it is the COOLEST thing EVER! I have always wanted a pocket watch, and the one I have been eyeing is too expensive, so I was elated to find a pocket watch. I also enjoy wacky things, so when I discovered it was backwards, I flipped out!!! It actually works even though it was in the ice and snow and all wet! I recommend this watch to anyone who like weird things, or is a fan of watches!! Did I mention that engraved on the watch is an Albert Einstein quote! Cool huh?! ~Zoe

Take some time an take some time!

I'll be honest, the first thing that caught my attention was the pocket watch. I love pocket watches, and a functional "backwards running" watch is certainly going to get my attention. This book is pretty darn nifty - much like the "Ology" series (Dragonology, Pirateology, Wizardology, etc) there's lots of flaps to lift and bits to take out and read and explore as you learn about "Lisa Einstein - the missing Einstein". Daughter of famous scientist Albert, she finds an unusual stone in an unusual store and becomes able to travel backwards and forwards in time! Full of glimpses of famous events (The Titanic, the Chicago Fire, Woodstock,) and famous people (Amelia Erhardt, Jimi Hendrix, and, of course, Albert Einstein), this is a 'learn stuff while having fun' sort of book. And the pocket watch is darn nifty. Highly recommended!
