Reviews

[Becky B · Rating 4 out of 5]

A collection of informational bits about space, astronauts, and space-related attractions/items.

As is normal for the NatGeo Weird But True books, this is colorful, eye-catching, and a feast for the random fact sponge to soak up.

Notes on content:
Language: None
Sexual content: None
Violence: None
Ethnic diversity: A variety of facts from all over the world are included.
LGBTQ+ content: None specified.
Other: There are some geologic/astronomic theoretical numbers included in some facts that may be dated as scientists learn more and theories change or facts change (like the amount of space junk floating around the Earth).

I liked showing off some of these fun facts to friends, but technically not all of them were “facts.”
