I just saw this book at a bookstore and it looks great. It was written by Stephen Hawking and his daughter Lucy. It is supposed to explain the universe to readers of all ages but it looks like a book for children to me.

Check it out!

Here is the link.

I love the cover:

Looks interesting. I’m not afraid to read childrens books. Especially after reading Antoine de Saint Exupéry’s. “The Little Prince.”

I bought the book last night for my kids; I hope the younger one, who is now almost five, will enjoy it. Do you really think The Little Prince is for kids? I never though it was. Have you read his other books? My favourite, after The Little Prince, are Flight to Arras and Wind, Sand and Stars. I also read Saint-Exupéry’s biography. I realized that The Little Prince was, in a way, his autobiography.

Looks like it could be a cute book.
