Amazing

My 6.5 year old has been interested in space, but this book took it to a whole new level. He literally takes it everywhere with him. In the car, to the bathroom, even sleeps with it in bed. He has learned so many new facts about space that he will share with anyone who will listen. 100/10 would recommend!!! Thank you for this amazing book!!

So engaging--my daughter shared with all the kids in her class

Captivated my daughter's attention--and she HAD to share the book with her friends.  I read it to find out why--Dr. Maggie (real person) takes you on a "thought experiment" journey--written with blurbs of info (but not just snippets like in Lift the flaps--more detailed), broken up into 2-6page spreads for each planet...it kept me engaged (I confess, I am not usually that into astronomy).  Highly recommend!
