Excellent
My 7 year old son could not put this book down! He read the entire book in one afternoon, and then was able to complete his biography project for school without any additional research. The book brought Amelia Earhart to life; it was comprehensive and interesting, with so many insights that I had never known before. There were also numerous sketches and maps which would keep a youngster ...

Not the best but good
Just so people don't get confused, I thought it might be a good idea to mention here that this is exactly the same book as Bill the Galactic Hero on the Planet of Ten Thousand Bars, or if it isn't it's virtually the same. On the whole the book is good, although I must say it isn't as good as some of the others in the series. It has its amusing moments, but it is a bit on the bizarre side, no ...

Favorite bedtime story
When Logan, my 22 month old grandson, stays the night, he says "book" and points to the bookshelf that holds this treasure. I love the rythm of the story, and the soft detail of the pictures. When my son was little I read this story to him. The pictures remind me of what he looked like as a little boy.The book is a favorite of mine and I am looking for a copy to give to my son for Fathers Day. I ...

simply the best
If you want to learn basic physics including motivations for advanced concepts, this book is the one. If you gonna study physics just to get a good grade and indeed not interested in beauty of physics (in freshmen level), don't buy this book; you can try "Fundamentals of Physics". If you think the number of examples are not enough in Ohanian's book, bookstores are full of ordinary freshmen ...

Great memories
I was so happy to find that this wonderful storybook from my childhood was still in print. I remember the wonderfully detailed illustrations and the charming stories. The little boy who appears throughout the stories is quite endearing and children can relate to him as he interacts with the giants, being sometimes clever and sometimes thoughtful and empathetic. His use of a "secret" to escape ...

A Fun Book With Funnier Pictures
Appropriate for almost any age, this book reads like a song. These cows are so hillarious to follow through this story, that before you know it, the story is over. You'll find no deep meaning here, just mischievous cows who love life, and want to have fun.
