Michael Shaw has written several books to assist teachers and young scientists. His scientific research consisted of the tardigrade population survey for the state of New Jersey. Mr. Shaw’s internet video went viral with over 11 million views, popularizing the tardigrade as “the first animal to survive in space.” Recently Mr. Shaw has appeared in a PBS video, and on TV Globo in Brasil on their most watched Sunday night program, Fantastico.

Can you imagine a parent's pride when their kid comes home using words like Fahrenheit, spore, and ultraviolet radiation?I love the idea of building a quiz into a science book like this. The reader is asked a question, if they get it right they get a detailed explanation of why they are right. If they should happen to get it wrong, the author will either throw in a funny joke or offer additional information to help the reader reconsider their answer. I think this is a great way for kids and adults to learn new content.-J McCullenI gave this a five star rating because of the information presented. I had no idea Tardigrades were so resilient. Just as suggested by the author, the answers can be very funny yet remain informative. The facts are presented in an entertaining way. Don't be surprised if your kids laugh out loud.
