"A Seriously Humorous Voyage Through the Universe" is a great listen that teaches complex scientific concepts by using humor and plain language to make the concepts easy to digest. It seamlessly moves between humor and science, talking about topics like black holes, time travel, and quantum mechanics.

The author does a great job of breaking down intricate concepts and making them not only easy to listen to and understand, but makes the reader have fun while doing it. Great for any audience who is looking to learn more about science but not through a textbook-like approach.

Overall, definitely would recommend this to science enthusiasts or anyone curious about the universe!

This engaging book takes you all over the universe and back, uncovering information about stars, planets, black holes, Einstein, and so much more! The narrator is a mixture of Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye, the Science guy, with a touch of Blippi's enthusiasm, which is perfect for getting kids excited to learn the plethora of scientific facts in this book.

What a Trip!
