“In the beginning, nearly fourteen billion years ago, the entire universe was smaller than the period that ends this sentence.” So begins – literally with a bang – Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s fascinating and reader-friendly overview of cosmology for curious kids, packed with color photos, fact boxes, and wonderful information. Find out what’s the most popular element in the universe and why portly Santa Claus should vacation in Ecuador, and learn about dark matter, dark energy, wormholes, blue galaxies, and the astronomer Tycho Brahe, famed for describing a supernova – who had a pet elk and a brass nose.  (Vermont Middle Grade Book Award, 2021)
