The pictures in the book are cool too, and they help me imagine what everything looks like. I also like how George and his friends are brave and smart, and they show us that being curious and asking questions is a good thing. It's awesome to learn new things about the stars and planets while following their adventures. Plus, the idea of having a computer like Cosmos that can show you the universe is just amazing. It makes me want to learn more about science and explore the world around me.

    I want others to read this book because it turns learning about space into an exciting adventure. It shows how asking questions and being curious can lead to amazing discoveries about the universe.
