Also, the book on black holes provides a clear and concise introduction to the topic, discussing their formation, properties, and significance in astrophysics. Possibly one of the most bonkers picture books I’ve ever read – incorporating cake, cosmic vibrations, black holes, and cheese-salad sandwiches – it’s an absolute riot, and I loved the twist, which happens a bit before the end but is hilariously satisfying after all the madness leading up to it.
