Press

Good introduction to the solar system, offering information in bite-sized chunks.

The Telegraph

"See inside the Universe" takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the universe, from stars and galaxies to the Big Bang and the Big Crunch, via astronomy and particle physics. It's so dense - there are flaps hidden within flaps - that it's one of those books kids and parents can dip into time and again.

One of those books kids and parents can dip into time and again.

Dr. Amber Jenkins

The 'science' of gravity, the Big Bang, atoms - all presented with over 70 flaps to lift, this will be a great recommendation for the boffins of the future.
