Overview:
The Science Museum 4 Books Collection Set brings together four of Glenn Murphy's funniest, fact-packed paperbacks, built around real questions kids actually ask. Written by a former Science Museum Explainer, these books turn snot, burps, fear and smells into brilliant science lessons kids want to read. Doodle-filled and conversational, this bundle suits reluctant readers, curious minds, and gift shoppers wanting learning that's genuinely funny.

About the Books:
"Why is Snot Green?" opens the set with questions asked at London's Science Museum - why snot changes colour, whether animals can talk - answered in a witty, back-and-forth style. "How Loud Can You Burp?" continues the gross-out science, from animal poo as energy to why water feels wet, with doodles inviting mini-experiments. "Stuff That Scares Your Pants Off!" uses statistics and psychology to unpick common childhood fears - earthquakes, sharks, the dark - showing how much of what scares us is perception rather than real danger. "Poo! What IS That Smell?" rounds off the set with a dive into senses, smells and tastes, explaining why sprouts taste as they do and how our noses work. Across all four titles, Murphy keeps the tone light and curious, never talking down to readers while delivering properly researched science, making the series a mainstay of school libraries and family bookshelves.
