Thoroughly enjoying Randell Munroe's (of @xkcdComic fame) book "What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions" - Funny and smartly written, and highly educational. With great illustrations of course. – sourceThe kids are obsessed with this. They can quote it from memory. They’ve learned probably more science from What If? than they have from their science class in the last two years. – source
