can he play with it without reading the booklet?

Thank you for your question. With all of our engineering kits, we encourage our users to continue to build beyond the models in the manual. The experiment manual teaches the principles of Architectural Engineering that you can use to come up with your own designs.

Does each one have to be disassembled in order to build the next?

Thank you for your question. While each model will have a few leftover pieces, you do have disassemble one model to build another.
