I had been meaning to pick up the paperback version and when I finally saw it I bought it without a second thought, and I was not disappointed. I had heard this was a book geared towards kids and young adults so I was worried I would know most what Dawkins would be talking about in the book but to my surprise I learned quite a bit. The myths he portrays are lovely anecdotes before he breaks down the original proposed questions with the true scientific answer. Being a follower and frequent reader of Richard Dawkins I can honestly say he delivers with this book. I highly recommend this book to anybody of any age looking for a good read.

This an astonishing book for kids. This will get kids (9+) to think outside the proverbial box and ask questions.....about anything and everything. I think this is also a great book for adults who do not know much about science and would like a "catch-up" on various scientific subjects. Another well done book by Richard Dawkins.

It's nice book

Views of a writer with no reputable facts does not make a idea a truth echelon in stone

Fabulous book which I'd thoroughly recommend. Written in a superbly clear style. My kids love it and it's brought back dim but happy memories of science classes. I felt a bit cheated when I discovered that for a few dollars more I could have had the iPad app which has all the text plus an interactive experience. Surely this could be explained on the Bookstore description so customers know they have a choice.
