In this third book by Ben Hillman, young readers will learn and see just how fast something is. By comparing objects such as the Thrust SSC (that's a Thrust-powered Super Sonic Car), an ostrich (don't underestimate the ostrich, my friend!), the human brain, and bamboo,wildly different objects are taken out of normal context and placed next to one another to allow for new and exciting perspectives. So just how fast is an ostrich? An ostrich would beat a top-notch professional cyclist in a ten-mile (sixteen km) race, hands down! While the best cyclists can race at blistering speeds of twenty-five miles per hour, the ostrich can run at forty-five miles per hour!

Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award 2003 What would life be like with no clocks and no calendars? How would you know when to get up in the morning? How would you know when baseball season was about to start? Long, long ago, all people could do was watch the sun and moon and try to figure things out. Eventually, they made simple clocks like sundials. And as time marched on, people came up with more ways to measure it. Today, quartz crystal watches and atomic clocks tell us EXACTLY what time it is, at any moment, all over the world.

Move to another planet? Sounds interesting! In our imaginary spaceship, let's check out the planets in our solar system. Mercury is closest, but it has no air, and it's either sizzling hot or bitterly cold. The atmosphere on Venus is poisonous; plus, human beings would cook there. Mars might work, but you'd always have to be in a protective shelter. And if you got to the outer planets, you couldn't even land as they are mostly made of gas! Our home planet is looking good. Why is Earth so comfortable for plants, animals, and people? As Robert E. Wells explains, it's because of our just-right position form the sun, marvelous atmosphere, and abundant water. Our planet is very special and perfect for us, and that's why we must do all we can to keep Earth healthy.
