Editorial Review: Product Description: Stephen Hawking, author of the multi-million copy bestselling A Brief History of Time, and his daughter Lucy explain the universe to readers of all ages. George's parents, who have always been wary of technology, warn him about their new neighbors: Eric is a scientist and his daughter, Annie, seems to be following in his footsteps. But when George befriends them and Cosmos, their super-computer, he finds himself on a wildly fun adventure, while learning about physics, time, and the universe. With Cosmos's help, he can travel to other planets and a black hole. But what would happen if the wrong people got their hands on Cosmos? George, Annie, and Eric aren't about to find out, and what ensues is a funny adventure that clearly explains the mysteries of science. Garry Parsons' energetic illustrations add humor and interest, and his scientific drawings add clarity; there are also eight 4-page full-color inserts of scientific photos. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Georges Secret Key to the UniverseWas begged to purchase this book. It is very difficult to find books for boys. So when I was pestered about this book I had no other choice but to buy it. I am always looking for other books to hold his interest. Great buy! Rating: - Fun and InformativeI read this book before sharing it with my children...and I learned a lot! It's a beautiful book with an eye-catching cover and fantastic illustrations. A very likable adult character explains scientific concepts to a child character, so it's easy for the reader to understand. More information is in sidebars, so the reader can choose whether to delve deeper into the subject. I've since shared this book with my children. They did not find the 'lessons' tedious; they found them fascinating. ... Read More: Rating: - wonderful bookThis book is intriguing, combining fact with fiction, in a very interesting way. After reading the story, my son reread the factual pages and looked at the photographs seriously, asking numerous questions. It opens up a new world of interesting science to young scientists. Rating: - Space, Adventure, Information!The story is about a boy named George and a girl named Annie. There is a very scientific computer called Cosmos. What happened was that Annie's father fell into a black hole and Cosmos and George tried to save him. I think George's Secret Key to the Universe is a fabulous book because I like space and this book is all about space. This book is non-fiction and fiction book because half way through, there are real pictures of space and scientific information. The book is also full of adventures. ... Read More: Rating: - CaptivatingMy 3.5 year old son is completely hooked on this fabulous book! We're plowing through it in just a few nights and he doesn't want it to end. I was floored when after the first night of my husband reading it to him he ran up to me excitedly the next morning and said "Mama, I know how stars are birthed, wanna hear about it?" And proceeded to give me a very sweet and stunningly accurate lecture on the topic! I wish there were more books like this out there -- smart, not sassy and rude, fun loving, and adventurous! |
