Just so you know...

This book was a little scary for my 5 y/o grandson. He liked it but was not a good night time book. I'm thinking would be nice for 8-10yoa.

Cute concept but the has issues

Cute concept for a book but the black-light wording doesn't show up. The pictures and normals words reflect the black-light so much that the "hidden" words are so hard to see that its nearly impossible to read.
Also for this book to be based on "the little old lady who swallowed fly" book, it is completely backwards. The little old lady first had a fly then spider then bird then cat, each progressively getting larger. This story starts with the largest thing then gets smaller. First eating the galaxy then the planets (which are IN the galaxy is just swallowed???)

Such a cute book

My 3 year old absolutely loves this book. I can’t lie the first few times reading it was a bit of a tongue twister for me but it’s quickly become our favorite. The quirky faces makes it fun for my child. I love that he is recognizing what atoms, molecules & neutrons are!

My littles favorite book!

This book became my littles (3&4) favorite book after one read. When I ask them what book they want to read for bed, every night, without fail, it is this one. If you are looking to introduce your little ones to the universe in a basic but fun way this is it!

Fun book!

It goes along the theme of There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Spider in a very funny space nerd way. Loved it! 1st or 2nd grader could read it.
