The Kingfisher Young People's Book of Space

I think this is a great kid's space book. It is broken up into specific subjects on each page. They get right to the point and they still make it interesting to read. My kids have enjoyed having it read to them.

Outstanding Book for Young Space Explorers

This breathtaking full color glossy book has incredible pictures and information ranging from the "Race to the Moon" to "Earthwatch" "Mission to Mars" "Comets" "Star Life" and includes a fantastic glossary at the back of the book. It also includes: "Universal Facts" "Brightest Stars" (in order of apparent brightness) "Major Telescopes - Optical/infrared and "Major Planetary Probes" providing the name, nation, launch info, target, and result. The pictures and layout of the book is outstanding, and it provides so much useful information, including "Beyond Time" "The Search for E.T." and "Impossible Questions." I highly recommend this book to kids of all ages that are intrigued by the cosmos, and want a fantastic introduction to our solar system and beyond. Deserves 10 Stars!
