Text:        Have a look at the book "Einstein for Beginners" by Joe Schwartz, 
illustrated by Michael McGuinness, put out by Pantheon Books.  The format is 
certainly unlike any other book on relativity; I thought it was very 
entertaining.  I do not know if the illustrations would make the book less 
formidable to someone afraid of science, or if today's 7th grader would find 
it unentertaining.  You may well find the book at your local library.
