Awesome science fiction read. If you want to incorporate a science lesson with a reading, I think this is great resource. This book was entertaining yet informative, and I myself learned new information about black holes. This reading can definitely spark some very creative discussions and curiosities within the classroom.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I think this book would be perfect to read to an elementary school class during a science lesson. It shows her curiosity in science and shows readers about experimenting with science. Playing off of the phrase "my dog ate my homework," this book tells the story about how the universe ate Abby's homework. ( )

Science Fiction for kids, in a simple picture book story. Abby hates homework, she would much rather be off stargazing with her dog Comet or just playing. When she talks to her father, physicist about what he is writing about, she learns a bit about creating a parallel universe. Off she heads to his office to read his notes and create her own black hole, that promptly eats her homework. After that, she just adds energy to create another universe, right in her dad's office. The story is cute, but feels like it ended too soon. What happened to her baby universe when she decided to stay put? This is a fun story that children interested in science, particularly the stars and space would love. The illustrations are well done and certainly depict what is going on in the text well. A good book for any family, classroom, school or public library. ( )

Science, especially physics RULES! Let's admit it, we all hate homework. It’s so much more fun to play and star gaze. Abby is just like us. But her dad is a physicist who is writing the rules on how to create a black hole. Abby is so awesome that she pulls of the impossible and creates her own black hole, that promptly eats her homework. The story is lovely, but feels a little short. Almost like it ended too soon. What happened to her black hole when she decided to stay, or when she went to school, etc. ( )
