Answers such astronomical questions as "Why don't we fall off the earth?", "Can anybody go near the sun?", "Do stars shine forever?", and "Are there any space creatures?"
This little book packs so much information! It is a question and answer book about space, answering questions about the earth's revolutions around the sun, why it gets dark at night, gravity's role, the moon, the stars and the planets. Did you know that it would take about 109 Earths to make a straight line across the sun? I feel so much smarter now!
This is another Lily book, though I read her a copy that I have from 1986. Amazingly almost all of the science still holds up really well (except for the classification of Pluto and the fact that the International Space Station exists). A very cute book with a great Q&A for curious kids.
