There Was a Black Hole that Swallowed the Universe by Chris Ferrie
A wildly imaginative STEAM picture book that transforms story time into a cosmic adventure! PLUS, use a black light to reveal secret, invisible text and artwork that reverses the story from nothing to the scientific creation of everything! From bestselling children’s author Chris Ferrie, this laugh-out-loud science story blends playful rhyme with vibrant illustrations. A clever, cumulative rhyme inspired by “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly,” this book takes curious kids ages 4–8 on a journey from galaxies to the tiniest building blocks of matter. Bring the wonder of the universe to your next story time, and help kids see science as an exciting adventure! There was a black hole that swallowed the universe. I don't know why it swallowed the universe—oh well, it couldn't get worse. There was a black hole that swallowed a galaxy. It left quite a cavity after swallowing that galaxy. It swallowed the galaxies that filled universe. I don't know why it swallowed the universe—oh well, it couldn't get worse.
