Reviews

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting children's book covering numerous aspects of space. Included are sections on space travel and exploration, astronomy, the universe, galaxies, the solar system, and other topics. It is easy to read with a short bullet format.

Nice book for astronomy lovers....

[Allie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is handy as a quick reference for major points. It is not fantastic for learning new details as it is only a summarised version of information, it at times lacks enough explanation of certain ideas. Good overall.
