Critic Reviews

“"TV personality Nye's enthusiasm for science comes through in sections packed with information, boxed quotations from working scientists, "Try This" activities, photos, illustrations, diagrams, and graphics"-- Horn Book Magazine”

STARRED REVIEW
"Challenge[s] readers to ponder still-unsolved scientific posers. . . The full-color graphic and photographic images not only reflect the overall 'get this!' tone but consistently enrich the flow of facts and reflections. 'Our universe is a strange and surprising place,' Nye writes. 'Stay curious.' Words to live by. Wordplay and wry wit put extra fun into a trove of fundamental knowledge."

Kirkus Reviews
