Book Reviews of Q Is for Quark: A Science Alphabet Book

Book Review: E is for Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

We got G is for Google a while ago and I bought Q is for Quark for my son's 11th birthday. He's not a big reader, but he likes to read this series. The entries are quite complex, they really explain sophisticated science, and the entries, although usually only a page long, are also quite dense - this is not a dumbed down version.

It's genuinely interesting and we read it in bite size (or letter size) portions, and learn something new. This is a book you definitely read more than once, and each time, you remember a little more. I really enjoy it and would recommend it for anyone over 10 (parents learn a lot from this book too!)
