What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and scientific in its approach. It touches on the eventual end of stars and the universe, but the tone is clinical and awe-inspiring rather than existential or frightening.
Ideal Reader
An 8-to-10-year-old 'fact-collector' who thrives on visual data. This is perfect for the child who finds dense blocks of text intimidating but wants sophisticated information rather than 'babyish' picture books.
