The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True by Richard Dawkins

5.0

This is the perfect book for anyone who wants to educate a child in the ways of science, rather than myth and superstition. Dawkins's prose is entirely accessible, and McKean's wonderful art and design enhance the book immeasurably. The myths that open nearly every chapter are interesting in their own right, and Dawkins then gives us the real answer to the query each myth attempts to satisfy. I'd recommend this book for ages 12 and up, and younger children who are more advanced readers should be able to tackle it, as well. This book needs to be in libraries and classrooms around the world.
