How To Spaghettify Your Dog

Hiba Noor Khan · 2023
87/100
👍 Worth It

Khan and Woodgate have done something genuinely hard — made quantum mechanics and black holes feel like the most exciting things a kid could spend twenty minutes on, without dumbing any of it down. The Royal Institution's endorsement is not marketing copy; this is the kind of book that turns a curious eight-year-old into someone who asks their teacher difficult questions. Woodgate's illustrations do real explanatory work alongside the text, not just decoration.
