But that familiar diagram is wrong about almost everything and so this is no ordinary book. Seven gatefold pages open out not once but twice, capturing our planetary neighbors at scale. At a trillion-to-one scale, the Sun is about the size of a dime. And five feet away from the Sun, we find... Earth, the size of a pinhead. A trillion-to-one scale is not nearly small enough to fit our solar system into a book (or onto a soccer field)! How small do we need to go? Unfold the spreads to find out...

Book SynopsisTake your youngsters on a voyage across the universe and ignite their passion for exploring the night sky in this fascinating and imaginative guide to astronomy for kids ages 6 to 10. This second book in the Wooford McPaw series takes on the subject of the cosmos and everything within it.

In and amongst these stories, we find out about how the universe may have been formed, the birth and death of stars, different types of galaxies, our own solar system and the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. Kruszynski’s comprehensive but easily understood texts are brought to life in comic-style panels with plenty of dialogue and discussion bringing the subject alive, and providing a refreshing new take on a subject matter that never ceases to boggle the mind!
