Professor Astro Cat’s Atomic Adventure by Dominic Walliman and Ben Newman
I have to say that this is one of the coolest nonfiction science picture books that I have ever seen! For starters, the size and shape are wonderful. This square book is a bit larger than average and you have probably all figured out that I love large picture books. (Who doesn’t?!) Also, I am in love with this cover and I have to say, the inside is just as fantastic.
The illustrations are eye-popping, retro styled, and full of detail. You could spend a significant amount of time pouring over the illustrations and information packed in this book. The set-up is ingenious as well. Each two-page spread covers a different science topic with facts and tid-bits alongside informative illustrations. Topics covered include everything from quantum physics to kinetic energy. Though I would recommend this book for older children, it definitely is still done at a level kids can understand. It even has a glossary-index at the end for reference. Such a cool book to add to your library for your budding scientists!
