Enjoy this popular book in Chinese. What if a boring lesson about the food chain becomes a sing-aloud celebration about predators and prey? A twinkle-twinkle little star transforms into a twinkle-less, sunshine-eating-and rhyming Black Hole? What if amoebas, combustion, metamorphosis, viruses, the creation of the universe are all irresistible, laugh-out-loud poetry? Well, you're thinking in science verse, that's what. And if you can't stop the rhymes . . . the atomic joke is on you. Only the amazing talents of Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith, the team who created Math Curse, could make science so much fun. Ages 4-8.

刚一翻开这本书，牛顿老师便对大家说：“各位同学看着我，竖起耳朵，什么声音都别放过，开花结果，听听里面有什么？”自从听了老师这句话开始，书中的小主角就像中了魔咒一样，沉溺在科学的诗句里无法自拔。生活处处皆科学，从生命的起源，到外太空星系；从小小的化学元素，到身体所需的各种维生素，这所有的一切都脱离不了科学，也只有这本书让科学融入诗歌，在唱谣中领悟科学的要义。 插画家兰·史密斯以拼贴技法让文图紧密结合，文字自然成为艺术的一部份。在这本书中，他大胆巧妙的版面设计和诡异诙谐的绘图风格，精确地呈现科学的神奇与美妙。加之郝广才先生精妙的译文，让原本诙谐的冷幽默文字更加有趣。
