A Fabulous Resource. Easy-to-understand by Reina Santana (FLORIDA)  5 Stars
June 18, 2009
I purchased this book because my son had some questions about the Big Bang theory. Although, I knew the theory, I found it difficult to explain it in simple terms. This book was exactly what I needed. The author explained the Big Bang in simple, creative, and fun terms. My son walked away understanding and explaining the concept to anyone that would listen. I highly recommend this books to parents, teachers, and home schoolers. My son loved it.

daughter loved it! by Aravinda Pillalamarri 5 Stars
November 15, 2008
My 5 year old daughter devoured this book and for several days afterwards talked about the expanding universe, how it was just a bit bigger today than yesterday. She also mused about how it could all become a tiny speck again ... it certainly captured her imagination and I am sure as she re-reads it later it will awaken further curiosity and prompt observation. This is a marvelous book for all ages and I can't wait to read it again myself. You don't have to have a child to love this book.

Adorable and accurate! by liat2768 (dallas) 5 Stars
September 12, 2008
My 7yo is mad for Astronomy and Physics and has been fascinated by the Big Bang theory for a while. I've picked up other books for kids about Space before and usually been disappointed in the fact that they dumb things down for little kids to the extent where some of the information is misrepresented or just left out! This book was great! It does and excellent job of making the theory amusing and yet explaining it clearly for the younger child. The rhyming and humor are hilarious and while I wouldn't say that my child learned anything earthshakingly new he certainly was entertained by the book and saw that 'dry' science can still make a beautiful work of art.

Lovely and lyrical by A reader from New England 5 Stars
May 11, 2005
WOW! DeCristofano writes science in such a fresh and lyrical voice - not only did I understand the theory of the Big Bang, but I ENJOYED reading about it. At last, a science book that kids can understand and love reading again and again. Her writing is like poetry.
