There Was a Black Hole that Swallowed the Universe: A Funny Rhyming Space Book from the #1 Science Author for Kids

I love this book. It is fun to read to kids.

I have a grandson (5yrs old) who loves "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly" books, and is obsessed with black holes as well. He asked santa for a black hole for Christmas and his mom told me, "good luck with that", so when I found this, it was perfect! He absolutely loved it and it's a cute book to read.

My 6 year old LOVES this book! I read it to him every night that I know it by heart. He’s extremely fascinated by black holes, and It has really got him curious about cells and atoms.

Such a fun book for my boys! They love it!

The book is ok, with the same plot as "there was an old lady who swallowed a fly" but there is a second book that goes back to front if you have a blacklight. Some of the pages were not printed well with the invisible ink but I really liked that second book better, as it explains the terminology like quarks and atoms. It is a fun book but having a black light is a must.

My 6 year old has autism and his hyper fixation is anything space related and comparing sizes of everything in it from molecules to galaxies. So needless to say finding this book hit every one of his interests and he’s hooked. Not only is the book cute and clever, the hidden secret at the end of the book sent him into a fit of giggles while searching for everything with his black light pen. This is the only book he constantly goes back to.

This book is perfect for my 4yr old grandson who is OBSESSED with planets and space! He loves it and has already memorized the story.

My son is super into space and planets and loved this book. It's funny and informative. My son was asking me what stuff was and why it was being eaten up. What makes it better is with a blue light in the dark you can read the book backwards as a whole new glow in the dark story!

One of the most beautiful books I have read for my son. Illustrated, educational and well done ilustrated

My son loves black holes. And he loves this book.

This is great book borrowing from the 'Old lady who swallowed a fly' narrative. My daughter loves space and especially black holes, so this book is now her firm favourite!

My 5 yo loves the illustrations on this book. It keeps him focused and entretained during his reading:)

I bought the Ebook version and I found this book very nice for introducing children to the astrophysics concepts.Excellent illustrations. I have also bought the paper book for the school where I work.
