This simple non-fiction book for very young children is filled with facts about space and the universe. Little children can lift the flaps and peek through the holes in the pages to find out lots about this interactive introduction to the subject is accurate, playful and approachable. Space is a "hot" topic at the moment and is a fascinating subject that can lead little minds to be more interested about science as a whole.

This is a very cool book for young kids interested in space. They did a great job of making the illustrations and flaps interactive and accurate and informed but fun.
Really good factual book for kids, but did not like that it drifted from this and included an alien on the very last page. May scare some young children.
