I have an audio copy of "George's Secret Key to the Universe" by Lucy & Steven Hawking - ISBN: 0743571674.  According to the description on PBS, there should be an illustrated booklet included...

Stephen Hawking, author of the multi-million copy bestselling A Brief History of Time, and his daughter, Lucy, explain the universe to readers of all ages. George's parents, who have always been wary of technology, warn him about their new neighbors: Eric is a scientist and his daughter, Annie, seems to be following in his footsteps. But when George befriends them and Cosmos, their super-computer, he finds himself on a wildly fun adventure, while learning about physics, time, and the universe. With Cosmos's help, he can travel to other planets and a black hole. But what would happen if the wrong people got their hands on Cosmos? George, Annie, and Eric aren't about to find out, and what ensues is a funny adventure that clearly explains the mysteries of science. Gary Parsons' energetic illustrations add humor and interest, and his scientific drawings add clarity; there are also eight 4-page full-color inserts of scientific photos.

The cover of my audio doesn't mention any booklet, only an enhanced CD which is part of my copy. 

If anyone is interested I would love to send them this audio (2 credits or 1 credit if ordering multiples). 

Just PM me, since I don't want to post it to my shelf in case is should have the booklet.

P.S. It is marketed as a Children's audio, but I'm 63 and found it very entertaining.
