Description

The Day the Universe Exploded My Head: Poems to Take You Into Space and Back AgainHang on tight for a raucous bounce through the solar system and back propelled by funny, fanciful, factually sound poems and exuberant illustrations. The universe poured into me. My brain was overloaded. It smoked and glowed red hot. And then it actually exploded. Ever wonder what the sun has to say about being the closest star to Earth? Or what Pluto has gotten up to since being demoted to a dwarf planet? Or where rocket ships go when they retire?

Hang on tight for a raucous bounce through the solar system and back -- propelled by funny, fanciful, factually sound poems and exuberant illustrations.

The universe poured into me.
My brain was overloaded.
It smoked and glowed red-hot.
And then
it actually exploded.

Ever wonder what the sun has to say about being the closest star to Earth? Or what Pluto has gotten up to since being demoted to a dwarf planet? Or where rocket ships go when they retire? Listen closely, because maybe, just maybe, your head will explode, too. With poetry that is equal parts accurate and entertaining -- and illustrations that are positively out of this world -- this book will enthrall amateur stargazers and budding astrophysicists as it reveals many of the wonders our universe holds. Space travelers in search of more information will find notes about the poems, a glossary, and a list of resources at the end.

very delicate
Color: White, Color: White
I absolutely love this bracelet; it's super cute and delicate. The gold finish is shiny and elegant, and the clover design gives it a lovely touch. It's lightweight but doesn't look cheap, and it fits my wrist perfectly. I've worn it many times already and I always get compliments on it. Excellent quality for the price.

Lightweight but heavy in style and quality!
Color: Black+White
Bracelet fits well on wrist, not too heavy at all pretty light, easy to put on and quite stylish! It’s shiny and has great quality for being so lightweight. Wore it for awhile and it’s both comfortable and dressy! Simple jewelry but its use of cool shapes makes it seem quite expensive!
