1) Hardcover Book George's Secret Key to the Universe by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. Was 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!¤ 2) Hardcover Book George's Secret Key to the Universe by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. I 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. The adventure is gripping. The message is a good one. I applaud Stephen and Lucy Hawking for sharing their knowledge and theories with a broader audience.
A child whose idea of an interesting story is "Captain Underpants" may not appreciate this book. It´s intelligent and well-written, and it takes some thought to absorb the science in the first few chapters and apply it to what happens in the interstellar adventure. For me, that´s not a bad thing; that´s part of what makes this book great! Middle-schoolers, and younger children who read at a higher level, will enjoy this story.¤ 3) Hardcover Book George's Secret Key to the Universe by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. This 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.¤ 4) Hardcover Book George's Secret Key to the Universe by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. 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.
Steven Hawking is a famous scientist and he wrote this book with his daughter Lucy. I think if you like space, you will love this book.
(Review by Jeff)¤ 5) Hardcover Book George's Secret Key to the Universe by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. My 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!¤ 6) Hardcover Book George's Secret Key to the Universe by Simon & Schuster Children´s Publishing. 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.¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
