(4) 4-6 Ken Jennings' Junior Genius Guides series. Illustrated by Mike Lowery. In this rambling, goofy narrative, readers are exposed to a host of facts about our solar system; stars and phenomena throughout the universe; and space travel. Cartoonlike sketches, quizzes with coded answers, and additional factual asides fill the pages. An appended final exam allows "junior geniuses" to test their learning. Lack of an index or informative chapter titles ("Third Period"; "Recess") makes navigation difficult.
