“Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” is an absolute must-read for young minds hungry for adventure in the world of science. Written by the legendary physicist and Nobel prize winner, Prof. Richard Feynman, this book is a delightful journey through his life, filled with quirky anecdotes and brilliant insights. The book offers an insightful portrait of his brilliant mind through a series of light hearted conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton.

Feynman’s knack for storytelling shines as he shares tales of his escapades, from cracking safes at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project to playing bongos in a Brazilian samba band. Through his adventures, readers glean valuable lessons about creativity, curiosity, and the joy of discovery.

This book isn’t just about science; it is about embracing life with open arms and an inquisitive mind. Feynman’s irreverent humor and unorthodox approach to problem-solving make even the most daunting concepts accessible and fun.

The children will learn about physics, sure, but more importantly, they will learn about the boundless possibilities of the human intellect.

“Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” is not your typical science book—it is an adventure, a comedy, and a masterclass in thinking outside the box.  The children will. not just learn from it; they will be inspired by it.
