Great primary/elementary astronomy resource
Great photography and drawings to accompany vocabulary and simple explanations of the major aspects of astronomy. We will be using this text as the basis of our homeschool cooperative science curriculum next fall when we study astronomy. It includes almost everything we were going to teach and explains it at a very basic level.

Great introductory book.
Good introductory book. Pages are not crammed with information and the layout is easy to follow, with short paragraphs that include facts and detailed pictures of planets, galaxies, astronaut gear and more. My boy (5) will definitely enjoy!

Excellent reference book for a juvenile lover of the night sky
My 5 year old grandson spends huge chunks of time leafing through this encyclopedia and frequently asks for us to read from it. Great reference book for a wide range of ages. Kindergarten is probably the youngest that would appreciate its length and depth of information and unless they already have a base knowledge of the solar system and objects moving around in it, maybe wait til they are a little older. Kids in 4th-6th grade are likely to learn much. Illustrations are excellent and are a mix of photographs and drawings. The 5th star wasnāt granted because the spine does not feel as sturdy as I would like it to be, considering the length and dimensions of the book. Note that this is an oversized book.

Great for Learning about Space!
I got this as a Christmas present for my 6 year old grandson (heās into all things space) and he loves it! He wants me to read part of it every time I go over there. Heās learned a lot about space, planets, and astronauts from it. Iām a space enthusiast too, and have learned a lot from this book. I absolutely recommend!

First Space Encyclopedia
Product was in pretty great condition. The only thing is a piece of tape on the back, and that can be taken off.

Youngsters begin interest in science
Well, this was incredible experience - I wanted to expand the horizons for my grandson - from garbage trucks to space. It was a success. He looks in this encyclopedia every day and builds space ships from legos. He corrects me when I mistake one planet for another. Amazing success.

Libro comperato in previsione del programma CLIL della 5 elementare. Immagini chiare e semplici, poche frasi in inglese che con qualche aiuto mio figlio riesce a tradurre. Consigliato per chi ha bambini curiosi e che devono affrontare astronomia in inglese! GiĆ iniziato a studiare Big Bang sul libro! Amazon perfetta!!
