<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Using Japanese-influenced cartoon characters as illustrations, this book gives young scientists basic information about the universe.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Basher Science: Astronomy, Out of this World! created and illustrated by Simon Basher, Written by Dan Green: <p/>Like a Facebook for the universe, <i>Astronomy</i> gives every important celestial body and concept its own page, where readers can learn its behaviors, likes, and dislikes up close and personal. From the flashy stars to the shadowy and strange objects that hang out like loners at the edges of the universe, no player goes unnoticed. Every profile has a hip anime-style portrait to round out the picture, but make no mistake: while the presentation is all style, the science is rock solid. The universe has never been so cool.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Basher has created a portrait gallery of personified ... celestial bodies in a hyper-cute, pastel cartoon style reminiscent of Japanese artist Takashi Murakami's more extravagant flights. . . . Green's astro-narrative is both accurate and spiced with seldom-mentioned details, ... it could kindle (or in under motivated older readers, rekindle) interest in the topic. And it's fun!" --<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Simon Basher is the creator and illustrator of <i>The Periodic Table</i>, <i>Physics</i>, and <i>Biology</i>.<br>Dan Green studied Natural Sciences at Cambridge University.
