Aimed at ages 8 and up, Zog’s Big Question: An Interplanetary Tale of Wonder, Belief and Big Questions is a cosmic story that blends curiosity, imagination, and philosophy in a way that feels sincere rather than preachy. One line that especially stood out to me was, “Stories can still be important, even if they are not true.”
Zog is an alien from a species that values definitive facts, which makes Earth’s religions, myths, legends, and stories deeply puzzling to him. Curious and constantly asking “why,” he travels to Earth to learn about belief firsthand. Through this journey, Adam Rice encourages readers to sit with uncertainty instead of rushing toward tidy answers — a refreshing approach for a children’s book tackling such big ideas.
The story is sweet, surprisingly succinct, and complemented by charming illustrations. It also offers great opportunities for discussion and reflection. I’d recommend parents read it first to gauge fit, but overall this is a thoughtful, imaginative book that respects its audience and invites curiosity.

"Zog's Big Questions," by Adam Rice, is an interesting book suitable for children who can read well with some degree of comprehension about a character named Zog and his interplanetary adventure full of wonders, beliefs and his many questions.
The book starts with the planet "Luminous" which is a marvel of a planet and all that takes place there that is a source of wonderment for Zog. In the book one reads about a museum, a church, religion; all to an impressive level for what's going on in those places and the things about them.
This book if full of surprises, and it is a pleasure to read. The stories are told in a very entertaining way and the wonders are many. Recommended for any child over five who can read well to get joy from a book full of wonders and incredible moments.
