Richard Dawkins, what a brilliant human!

I'm buying this for my 5 year old nephew. He is very young, But I will explain everything to him to the best of my abilities. I want him to have the best education possible.

Just ordered this book. I'm looking forward to sharing this with my students.

:)...that's a great way to put it..it did make me smile and I immediately ordered a copy on Amazon. I will be reading it to my 5 year old son. Richard Dawkins has changed my life more profoundly than any imaginary deity or priest every will (would). Thank you Dr. Dawkins for your efforts to bring reason and enlightment to those willing to listen/read.

Got this book for my 11 year old cousin and he absolutely loves it- he has taken such an interest in science now and goes around telling people all these new facts he's learnt like how we can measure the distance from stars and how if we go back far enough, our ancestors 'looked like weird opossums' xD Dawkins is engaging and the art by Dave McKean is sublime!!

[spharktasm]

Dave McKean illustrating Dawkins' ideas? This must be really beautiful <3

[skyblazer]

Truly a world class scientist who tries very hard to reach out beyond the scientific realm to enlighten the rest of us on scientific fact and the wonder that is revealed by it.

I'm getting this in a few days very excited to read the first book I've read in full in 2 years!

[beatnikish]

My 11 y/o told me this was the first book he's ever enjoyed reading. That speaks volumes! Beautiful illustrations & the text spawns some pretty amazing conversation. Job well done Richard Dawkins!

i read it when i was 10, but to be honest i didnt really understand what Richard Dawkins was talking about, but Google helped me.... :)

[AwsmUsername]

A true legend, thank you for your wonderful books, I promise, I will read them all before I die!

[rodperezto]

Started reading this book and it reminded me of something I came up with some time ago, after having a beer or two: "The magic of it all lies in what we know, not in what we do not. It is to be discovered, not supposed. It is to be understood, not unknown."

[Muffinfordinner]

Children's book with an axe to grind. Wonderful.

[Sageylee]

Thanks, Richard. You're an inspiration, and a breath of fresh air.

[Fascistbeast]

I'm buying this book!
Amazing Mr Dawkins 👍

Better than my Catholic religion lol

Went to the Dawkins lecture last night and it was great. The audience seemed to have a deep genuine love for Dawkins and what he does to support and improve the view of the nonreligious in society. He is possibly the most well know scientist of our time going beyond the call of duty. He'll be a big name in the history of science as time goes by.

I am so glad Youtube is mostly smart, non-religious.

"Pumbaa: Hey, Timon, ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?
Timon: Pumbaa, I don't wonder; I know.
Pumbaa: Oh. What are they?
Timon: They're fireflies. Fireflies that, uh... got stuck up on that big bluish-black thing.
Pumbaa: Oh, gee. I always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away.
Timon: Pumbaa, with you, everything's gas. "
