Science books for kids with experiment kits?

Question

Growing up I was given a book which covered a variety of cool science topics & facts, what are the hottest and coldest temperatures known to man, how does solar power work, how do engines work, cool chemistry tidbits, etc.The book itself was super interesting to read by itself but the best part was that it came with a separate box with maybe 10-20 different experiments that the book would then guide you in doing.For example, there was a tiny electric motor and you would hook it up to a little solar panel they provided and do something cool with it. Or you would have a little chemistry testing strip that would turn a different color if you put it in milk or if you put it in lemon juice to show ph levels.Does anything like this still exist? I would love to buy something similar for one of my friends kids as a birthday gift.

I imagine or assume most science kits would have a book or instructions and hopefully not some here the next couple of years website to refer to.
I too was shopping for the same a couple decades ago for the same reason and had noted advertising in an unrelated magazine for Scientific American which was offering starter kits iirc. I landed on something else more practical instead.
