George and the big bang by Lucy and Stephen Hawking

Title: George and the big bang
Author: Lucy and Stephen Hawkins
ISBN: 978-0385-61191-6

I thought this book is well written but there were some improvements that could be made. I found the scientific information at the end of each chapter easy to read and informative on what had gone on in chapter but it would have made more sense as far as the story went to have some of that information alongside the story as it happened maybe in a different font. I found the same with the beautiful colored photos at the end of each chapter of space. I think this would be a great story for getting kids into physics because when talking about scientific concepts that we don’t know the answers to yet it admitted that which were to possibly start an interest and a child wanting to answer that particular question. The story itself was an easy read despite the fact I hadn’t read the preceding books. A basic good versus evil and the possibility of the main characters losing is super computer which has empathy. I liked the fact the main characters were children. Yes I would recommend this book to a friend.
