Stephen Hawking's universe ... for kids!

Very cool cover! Did you ever notice how great the illustrations are in kids books. If you compare the Mission profile of the Apollo moon landing found in a book by the Smithsonian it is awful, yet if you pick up a kids book about space, that same mission profile is beautiful! I have kids encyclopedia type books on history and there too the illustrations are to die for. There's no better publishing house than Simon & Schuster! I don't want to spoil the plot, but I already know the secret key to the univers... Communal living - Ha-ha! Hey, you never heard Captan Kirk ever complain once about having to bunk between Spock and MeCoy's quarters did you? All space ships, airliners, Oceanliners and Star Ships are of course COMMUNES!

Chris E. -- you can't start them young enough! Reality and fantasy are one and the same in the open mind of a child. Keep talking.

Wayne Young - many thanks for the memories, and hurray for John Sisson. Chesley Bonestell will always be the illustrator of Space for me, even though architecture was his own forte.

How exciting that this book is coming out 1 month before the birth of my first grandchild, Claire Astrud! Both sides of her family have all been quite intellectual and go-getters, so I think this book would be quite appropriate for her, compliments of a doting Nana! I read Stephen Hawkings book when it came out, but I have to admit, I'm not sure I really comprehended a lot of it! Relative to a previous comment, maybe I would get a lot more out of this new 'children's' book. I'm a firm believer in learning new things by starting out with very easy subject material and working one's way up!

I'm so excited to get this book for my 11yr old son! He's autistic and loves science and space! I've been looking for a book that had a boy as the main character so it would be more appealing and this combines two key "ingredients" to make this an enjoyable read I'm sure!I've just recently started learning about Stephen Hawking so I am very happy to see this side of his creative mind as well!
