As always, Simon's remarkable ability to write concisely, accurately, and appealingly makes this book readily accessible to young readers. While children will certainly be awed by the colorful, full-page images (including microscopic views of the body and several optical illusions), the pictures aren't always clearly referenced, and there is no discussion of scale, detail, or the technology used to create the images.
