The Greatest Stuff on Earth
Sometimes we take the world around us for granted. This book reminds us about how great the stuff around us truly is – from the air we breathe and the sun in the sky, to fire, smartphones and even our DNA, it all makes up this wonderful world.
Tomecek and Devolle explore all of this and more, breaking down the facts and science behind all of the fascinating things that exist around us in a refreshingly enthusiastic style that radiates life and promotes curiosity. There is never a dull moment as Tomecek explains everything from atoms to the man-made creations we have today.
This book is perfect for those curious minds who love asking questions about the world around them. Tomecek’s conversational writing makes the facts feel like a friendly chat rather than a dull lesson and Devolle’s engaging geometric diagrams and illustrations add that extra layer of charm that will keep any avid reader’s attention. Within the book, readers are encouraged to start anywhere and jump around. This book celebrates explorations and doesn’t demand a strict order to read in, which fits with its lively tone. With that said, the energetic tone and easily accessible content make this is a fascinating and fun non-fiction book for any young reader who wishes to learn more about all the amazing stuff in our world.
