reviews
buyThis is a fun way to teach children a little nonfiction in a sing-song humorous story. Highly Recommended. -CM: Canadian Review of Materials
Chris Ferrie is adept at exploring complex ideas in ways that are easily grasped. Any book that can make the concept of quarks seem as solid and concrete as a planet-eating space thing is a winner – even for non-nerds. -Quill & Quire
