Description
The Day the Universe Exploded My Head: Poems to Take You Into Space and Back AgainHang on tight for a raucous bounce through the solar system and back propelled by funny, fanciful, factually sound poems and exuberant illustrations. The universe poured into me. My brain was overloaded. It smoked and glowed red hot. And then it actually exploded. Ever wonder what the sun has to say about being the closest star to Earth? Or what Pluto has gotten up to since being demoted to a dwarf planet? Or where rocket ships go when they retire?
Hang on tight for a raucous bounce through the solar system and back -- propelled by funny, fanciful, factually sound poems and exuberant illustrations. The universe poured into me.My brain was overloaded.
It smoked and glowed red-hot.
And then
it actually exploded. Ever wonder what the sun has to say about being the closest star to Earth? Or what Pluto has gotten up to since being demoted to a dwarf planet? Or where rocket ships go when they retire? Listen closely, because maybe, just maybe, your head will explode, too. With poetry that is equal parts accurate and entertaining -- and illustrations that are positively out of this world -- this book will enthrall amateur stargazers and budding astrophysicists as it reveals many of the wonders our universe holds. Space travelers in search of more information will find notes about the poems, a glossary, and a list of resources at the end.

Dogs love the bounce and squeak
My dog loves these and he isn’t a fetching breed. He loves chewing on them while they squeak. He’s a Great Pyrenees and the chewing is good for keeping him occupied when I’m not home. The neighbor dog, sneaks through the communicating gate and will steal one for herself. She’s a cattle dog/ husky cross. The other neighbor has a lab and he absolutely LOVES how these ball love to fly through the air and bounce so well when they hit the ground. Get them

No, squeaky
The rubber balls are super stiff, which is good or bad depending on your dog. The squeaker is awful and terribly designed, however, It squeaks the first time you or your dog squeezes it, then it falls off inside and it becomes a rattler instead of squeaker. I thought it was a one off thing, but nope, all of the balls had the squeaker fall off inside rattling by the 2nd attempt to make it squeak.

BEST EVER!!!
We have a medium sized furbaby. He is the most gentle baby! Except with toys. He destroys everything he gets within 5 minutes. Even the aggressive chewer toys. He’s had these for a solid 24 hours. STILL INTACT!!! He’s loving them! Well, maybe he’s actually frustrated with them! Lol. He was able to stop it from squeaking… but he’s still having a ball playing with them. Not a single rip. I think we may need to put them up for a while to give his jaws and mind a break. BUY THEM NOW!!! Your baby will love them. And if they usually tear things up…. They will be able to enjoy this for a long time!!!
