Customer Reviews
A great book for all ages!
This book is not only an entertaining yet informative book; it expands ones mind and allows children to address questions that they would not be able to think about until they are at high school. The use of fantasy, conversation, illustrations, humour, someone to identify to and written from a childs point of view makes this book a great treasure. It deals with many of childrens misconceptions yet it educates the children. This book is fun, yet informative...can a story be informative...yes!
A must buy!!
Fantasy Physics
This a fantastic book about a girl called Gedanken and her Uncle Albert, who is a scientist. Gedanken takes a trip into her uncle's mysterious thought bubble and discovers heaps of things in the strange enlarged world. This is a fun journey through the world of atoms, molecules, electrons and quarks.
a fabulous book
This book is really good as it teaches you science in a fun way.you dont realize how much you have leant from it untill you get to the back of the book where there is a quiz and you can test yourself.It is all about what the smallest piece of something is and what that smallest piece is made of.Russel Stanerd has also woven Lewis Carrol's stories in so it helps if you have already read Alice in Wonderland as charactures and props from the book are used throughout the book.This is a fantastic book that will make you both think deeply and laugh out loud at the same time.
