About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child's constant 'why' questions have outpaced their own scientific knowledge. Bill Nye's Great Big World of Science is a comprehensive, energetic, and visually engaging tour of major scientific disciplines, from physics and chemistry to biology and space exploration. It speaks directly to a child's innate curiosity, framing science not as a set of dusty facts but as a thrilling, active process of discovery. For middle-grade readers (8-14), it's a perfect resource that builds confidence, explains complex concepts clearly, and empowers kids to see themselves as scientists capable of understanding and changing the world.
