[Sophie Babett · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is an introduction if you would like to learn about space. This book covers planets, the cosmos and more. There are great colors and pictures in the book. The most interesting part talks about the origin of the planets. I recommend this book to everyone.

(Just a heads up: if you are dyslexic like me, this book will be a rollercoaster of words. You're welcome ;o)

National Geographic’s EVERYTHING series contains over a dozen books that will jumpstart the exploration of science and history topics.

EVERYTHING SPACE begins by exploring the space in our neighborhood then branches out to examine the secrets of the universe. Space programs and heroes are featured along with an exploration of facts vs fiction. The book is filled with fascinating diagrams, infographics, photos, charts, and other appealing visuals.

Librarians will find that this entire series will fly off the shelves. Each short, highly visual book is chuck-full of fascinating facts that will ignite the imagination.
