Narrative Concering Books George's Secret Key to the Universe (George #1)
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.Rating Out Of Books George's Secret Key to the Universe (George #1)

Ordered a copy for Joe :) It's the Magic Tree House of Space and Physics!I thought this book was SCIENTIFICALLY AWESOME because it is all about science!!!!! The reading age would probably be 5th grade and up. There is a boy named George and he entered a science competition for a computer. Other books from the same author are George and the Big Bang and George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt. Will George win the computer? Read the end of the book to find out!!!
The Universe Witout YawningStars, Planets, Comets, Asteroids, Nebulae, Black Holes, Galaxies... there's a whole population of space inhabitants defying our curiousity -- full of secrets waiting for us to be known!But those huge complex scientific essays can be so immensely boring, that they easily bury our original enthusiastic curiousity :(Fortunately, Stephen and Lucy Hawking, were sensitive enough to feel the problem, and created a short series of scientific books, talking about the mysteries
The science is wrapped in such an appallingly bad story... what a letdown.
This book was very informative about outer space while providing an exciting story. I first came to this book when I realized the amazing scientist Stephen Hawking participated to write this book. At first, I thought the book would be a fact-packed scientific book but I was wrong. It had an exciting storyline and I believe that I learned plenty from this book. I highly recommend this book to anybody who is willing to read an educational and interesting book.
This book is a great introduction to some basic science about how the stars and planets form, told incidentally as part of an adventure. Interspersed with science facts and with s some great photos of planets etc at the end of the book. A book by Stephen Hawkings that you can read to the end ;-)
Pleasant adventure, with lots of humor and scientific information. I loved the actual photos of astronomical objects, and also the cute illustrations.
