 So pleased!
My 5 year old son has so much fun with this book. The photos and information is outstanding and I have to admit I have wasted away a few hours reading through it myself!
 Slightly Disappointing
After reading the product description and the other reviews, I was expecting this book to be centered around the solar system. When in fact, the section on the solar system is one of the smallest sections, and doesn't really go into much detail about the planets -- least of all other space objects like Ceres, Eris, the Kuiper Belt, etc.
The title is very misleading. This is not an encyclopedia about space itself, but rather space science: astronaut training, satellites, and other space technology. They even put in a mention of stormtroopers from Star Wars (space in pop culture), and gave four pages to UFOs.
There is a tremendous amount of information provided, and this is a nice addition to our homeschool library, but I don't understand why our solar system wasn't given more attention. I noticed that a lot of the science facts found in this book could also be found in the DK First Science Encyclopedia.
Super Space Book
My daughter was so excited when she got this book. It has quite a bit of information about space and the moon. It was in excellent condition. Very pleased with all the books that we have purchased not only from Amazon, but also from private sellers.
Thanks
My Grandson Loved It
My 7 year old granson wants to be an astronaut. This book has kept him interested and he is reading more and more of it by himself with good understanding. The book focuses on specific yet simple explanations of all aspects of space. It's a winner in my book.
Knowledge is power
Great book for kids and adults. My 7 and 8 year old both enjoy the pictures and the knowledge behind them.
