This nonfiction book about space contains 98 entries all with fun, cartoony illustrations. It’s split into three parts: the solar system, outer space, and space travel (plus a table of contents and glossary). "The Bigger Picture" has general overviews, "The Secret Diary" highlight a specific part of history, and "A Day in the Life of a..." tell brief stories with traditional comic panels.
It's kind of long if you're not into space, but also kind of general so if you're super into space, you may not learn a lot. I found the space travel section to be the most interesting.
I'm always a little annoyed when there are no citations or additional reading books or websites. Also a little confused how Venus and the sun can both take 150 years to travel to? I suppose it's the averages, but I could see kids being confused by it.
Written and illustrated by Brits, this book is filled with facts about space. As an American, I don’t remember hearing about the European Space Agency-so that was new for me. There’s so much info here, I don’t know if kids would want to read the whole book-it might work better as a browsing book.
A delightful book telling us all about the stars, rockets, planets, inventions, astronauts and more! In a really fun way, namely through comics! It is not just boring blabla but the planets and all the other things really come to life to tell you their stories and what they are. It made for a really fun reading experience and I am very happy that I got this book for my collection! Recommended.
Laid out like a graphic novel, stuffed with information about outerspace, and longer in length - this is a great nonfiction middle grade book for outer space enthusiasts or to compliment a unit on the solar system. The writing and illustrations make the information, detailed though it is, feel more accessible.
