Beautiful!

What a gorgeous book. It's written to appeal to a young audience, but anyone can enjoy the stunning photographs. It makes you appreciate the inherent beauty of storms. It covers everything from Clouds, to rain, to tornados. As well as providing information about each subject, it often includes safety information for children which I found to be very responsible.

Neptune

Neptune is a good book. Lots of info and great pictures.Simon has done it again!

A Good Book For Children on the Planet Neptune

In August 1989, the Voyager 2 spacecraft became the first and so far only spacecraft to visit and explore the planet Neptune. The author presents a brief, non-technical summary of the mission to Neptune and the findings from this mission. The book is loaded with many high quality photos of the planet, its rings, and its minor moons. The book also contains a good deal of information on Neptune's largest moon Triton. While this maybe a children's book, I feel that many adults would find it interesting as well.

A book for aspiring young scientists

I'd hoped for diagrams for a variety of paper airplanes, but that's not what the book's about.Instead, it deals mostly with the physics of flight. It does suggest useful, inexpensive experiments for those with a scientific bent.

Clear explanations for young children

I used this book with my 3rd Grade class and found it invaluable. The explanations, diagrams, and experiments were right on their level.

True disappointment

This book is only valid if you believe in the big bang theory of the creation of the universe. It is also light on statistics and gives no detail on the different planets in the universe. You have to buy all the individual books to get that.

The Universe

If you love space then this is the book for you. The conceps leave you wondering how big the universe is and if it is still expanding. The pictures are absolutly breathtaking. With the pictures and explanations of the galaxy, black holes, and stars, the book is a must for space lovers. It is easy to understand and would make a great gift to any child, or anyone of any age, who loves space.
