big waste of money January 15, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The book was less than entertaining for my 9 year old, and she skipped right over it. The actual hornet was too easy to put together, more for my 6 year old. Plus, the mechanical part doesn't work well. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The parts inside the machine get jammed up and we have to take it apart and put it back together again to get it to work. Big waste of money.
