George's Secret Key to the Universe Audiobook

" A book where they sneak in facts about space while telling a good story! "

" Not a great plot. The writing wasn't great either. But the science concepts were sound. "

" It was very sientific, a good, fun way to learn about the universe and everything in it. There were a bunch of pages that were just info and a few pages with glossy, full color photos! "

" It has a bit of a slow start, made me wonder if it was just a science lesson. But the story picked up and it was interesting. It did approach teaching the Big Bang theory, which was a little odd, but otherwise it was okay. "

" This was a really cute and original story...I liked the good quality illustrations, the informative pages, and the engaging plot. Where will Cosmos take us reader next??? "

" The concept of a fun science book for kids is a good one. I found the layout to be distracting however - e.g. in the middle of a chapter, sometimes a sentence, would be an inset about one of the topics. I found it confusing as an adult to either stop the story and read it, or to carry on with the story until a sensible point and then skip back to the inset. I'm not sure I would have been able to follow it had I been a child - unless perhaps I was already interested in science, in which case I would be likely to know most of the basic information the book contains. "

" Could be a great way to interest young readers in science. A combination of humor and adventure mixed in with some facts about science and our universe. Nice photos. I'll update when I finish reading it but so far I'm being sucked in. "

" A great read with an interesting story line and a lot of science. I read this book to my five-year-old and we both enjoyed it a lot. For example, at the end of the book, we read it for two hours just to find out how the story ends. Afterwards, we had a long discussion on saving the planet :) "

" This is a fascinating story about a regular young boy who goes on an amazing journey. It teaches you a ton of basics about scape, and also about black holes. But don't bother to read this if you aren't looking to learn from your book, or just looking for entertainment. "

" my boys really loved this, they looked forward to bed time and loved all the facts and details. Great book and really well written. "

" this book is amazing! Entertaining and instructive. Learn the sky with that book. "

" a funny children stirybook with many descriptive stories about the universe "

" couverture trop flashy mais histoire sympa "

" I think the best chunk of this book was the speech that George gave at the end. The rest of it was pretty classic children's storybook plot structure except that astronomy plays a big part in the plot. "

" Cool way to introduce kids to astrophysics. Not intended for young adults or up. "

" I learned a lot of space stuff from this, like that a comet's tail is caused because a comet is made of ice. Well the tail of the comet is the melting dirty ice. The tail only comes when it comes into the part of it's orbit which is closer to the sun. "

" Greatest book I've read, with the work of Stephen Hawking and a great story "

" Book about astronomy that very interesting.It's make me amaze, about the Universe and also who create it. 4JJI SWT..Subhanallah.. "

" I think it was and interesting filled with a lot of good facts about the solar system. "

" Great science book to read with kids. It has a great characters that children can relate to and introduces astronomy facts and physics concepts along the way. "

" This is a great kids book. I have used it to teach students in middle school and they loved it. The pictures (real science and fantasey) are great. However, some of the vocab is challenging. "

" My 9 year old really enjoyed this story written by Stephen Hawking and his daughter.A boy called George and an incredible computer called Cosmos, that could transport you into outer space. "

" A great educational story though also, just a great story. "

" Okay... so I only read the first chapter with my 2nd grader to make sure it was a good book and one he would want to continue reading on his own. He loved it and took off. I like that it has an interesting plot as well as scientific information woven through the story. "

" This book fills a unique niche--scientific children's literature. The edition we had listed both Stephen Hawking and Lucy Hawkin as authors; I LOVE that a theoretical physicist co-authored the book. My girls really loved the story and all the science they were exposed to. "

" A great educational story though also, just a great story. "

" This is a fascinating story about a regular young boy who goes on an amazing journey. It teaches you a ton of basics about scape, and also about black holes. But don't bother to read this if you aren't looking to learn from your book, or just looking for entertainment. "

" Really fun read with lots of science mixed in. Hooray for Stephen Hawking and his daughter for writing such fun fiction to help kids learn about the universe. "

" Really simple to read. It's written on an easy way and it's perfect if you want to learn about the universe. "

" This is a great book that has lots of facts about the universe and space. If you like space and computers this book is perfect for you. "

" La cuarta estrella se la doy por algunos detalles de la traducción que me han gustado mucho. "

" Ist mehr eine Kindergeschichte. Man lernt nur einige wenige Fakten. "

" What an awesome book to read with your kids! It's a story with actual factual space info thrown in. I learned so much about stars and black holes. Great pictures. And bonus: it's well-written, too! "

" I think the best chunk of this book was the speech that George gave at the end. The rest of it was pretty classic children's storybook plot structure except that astronomy plays a big part in the plot. "
