Terrific for everyone, especially great for gifted kids

I've been so impressed by this book, that it inspired me to write this, my first Amazon review!
Here's the thing. I have a son who is almost seven who happens to be obsessed with Stephen Hawking. I know. He sticks out in a crowd. After watching Errol Morris's documentary of Hawking (great, by the way) my son asked me to look the man up on the internet so that he can start firing off questions to him about the origin of the universe, the birth of stars, you name it. Apparently at his young age, he has already figured out that mom doesn't always know all the answers! We found his website with a link to "George's Secret Key To The Universe" on it and I made a deal with my son that after we read that book, if he still had questions, he could write Stephen Hawking a letter. I don't know if the man has ever recieved a fan letter from a first grader, but there is a first time for everything, right?
We have been reading the book practically every moment that we have time for the past several days and my son loves it! This is a great introductory book - but it is also great for kids with some background knowledge about blackholes, elementary particles, and the like. The story that goes along with all of the science is just right for my kiddo's maturity level and the science allows him to stretch a bit further and go off on rabbit trails at the library to do more research. All in all, a great book for any kid - but especially for science-obsessed gifted boys!
We are almost finished and are hoping that Stephen and Lucy are working on another adventure for George - my son is requesting one to explore inner-space next. Let's see George in the land of quarks and weak bosons (my son's new silly insult: you weak boson!).
Loved it!
