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.

Great way to organize spices and save space
Color: Black, Size: 3 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 3 Pack
This pull-out spice rack organizer has been a great addition to my kitchen. It fits well in the cabinet and makes it much easier to see and access all of my spices instead of digging through cluttered shelves. Each tier holds a good number of jars, and the sliding mechanism works smoothly.
The racks feel sturdy, and installation was straightforward with the included hardware. I like that it keeps everything upright and organized, and the black finish looks clean and modern inside the cabinet.
Overall, this set does exactly what it’s meant to do and makes cooking more efficient. If you have the cabinet space for it, it’s a very practical and well-designed organizer.

Pleasantly surprised!
Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack
I am pleasantly surprised with these little racks! They were easy to assemble and install. I used the sticky tape which seems quite secure. I put them all the way to the back of my cabinet and they pull out far enough to see what I have! They are attractive enough and the organization they afford is paramount!

Nice sliding spice organizer - easy to install
Color: Clear, Size: 2 Pack
This is a nice, solid sliding spice organizer. It's not difficult to assemble - just use a rubber or plastic mallet (small) to tap the rods into the molded shelf pieces. You'll also need to attach the bottom bracket to the surface of the shelf to prevent it from tipping when you slide the shelves out. Nicely organizes our spice cupboard!
