Informing & Entertaining

We definitely recommend this book for the whole family!
This is a really good book for people who want to be a scientist when they grow up.
It’s also a really good book for kids to learn more about astrophysics in a simple and practical way. We could really understand it and learned a lot. It also has some funny parts! My kids, ages 14, 12, & 7, liked the narrator too.

excellent narration and excellent writing

my adolescent daughters and myself listened to this book together. it took a few chapters for my youngest to get into the book but neither daughter has a love of astronomy. by the middle of the book both girls had gained an interest in astronomy and were wanting to learn more. by the end if the book all three of us had learned more about astronomy than we knew before and were sorry the book had come to an end. expert narration by the master himself. and excellent writing by well respected experts. this is a great read and listen for any age.
