This review is from: Time and Space of Uncle Albert (Paperback)

I heard about this book on NPR and thoroughly enjoyed reading it at breakfast this morning. A 10 year old child and on up would thoroughly enjoy the story and tackling the concepts presented. The author was a Professor of Physics who felt kids could understand the concepts of physics if they were introduced to them in story form. Kids love a challenge and lots of them could handle this one.
