Really, Really Big Questions About Space and Time

64 pp. | Kingfisher/Macmillan | October, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7534-6502-8 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Nishant Choksi. Brake uses a question-and-answer format to cover a wide range of astronomy topics, split into chapters on the formation of the universe, stars, the nature of time, and space exploration and alien life. Eye-pleasingly goofy cartoons placed on colorful construction paper–like pages don't make the dense explanations any easier to understand, but the volume may whet science-minded readers' appetites. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
