    I skimmed through a few articles. These look really high quality and engaging. Makes me feel like a kid reading some of the cool STEM Encyclopedia-type books like from DK.

    Love the cards images, just a curiosity how do you create that images?

    Nice, you cover very interesting and fun questions! I'd love to know the answers to all of these once my kid (baby now) is old enough to ask about it. I scanned a few articles and they seem bit too long for me, I'd expect it to be more concise (I hope kids have a better attention span than me!). Btw, is the glove with six fingers for the article on six sides of an ice flake an intentional put?

    I'm interested to learn from the prompts you used to generate the images and texts. Perhaps a skill you could share to generate such content?

    I was prepared to be critical, expecting a slop-recital of facts with no explanation of how we came to know them (the sort of brain-dead thinking that would conflate knowing player stats with playing sports) but was pleasantly surprised. The couple I looked at had engaging explanations of the process of discovery (including, in the sunflower case, the missteps). Nice!

    I was expecting something more visual and simple to explain to kids

    How does your friend hide their dot in the GPS experiment? What precision should the distance measurements be to find this dot? Ask your LLM to review the experiments for workability.

    Can we turn this into a printable book?

      There's a print-friendly stylesheet, so you can easily print each article. You could probably automated this using the RSS feed.

      But I'm not sure I'd want a printable book. The articles are each standalone so you'd need to figure out some logical sequence. Plus once you print it you can't make improvements to existing articles.

      Around the time I turned 11 or so, my dad bought be a "how stuff works" book; definitely written to a "newspaper" reading level. It was paperback, not a lot of pictures, and generally held my interest. I think it targeted older teenagers or adults.

      What surprised me was halfway through there was a section on how hash is made!

    Disappointing to see AI used in what otherwise seems to be a well-intentioned project. As an adult I think some of these graphics are confusing at best and I question your familiarity with the subject matters to actually check whether or not these are explained both in a consistent and correct manner.
