An Outer-space Picture Book For Kids!

Children have a natural curiosity about outer space. This book takes children on a journey through outer space to explore how stars are born, where comets come from and how astronauts train for a moonwalk. In child-friendly language, this book explains why a shooting star is not really a star and why Pluto is not really a planet.

Young readers will enjoy the vibrant photographs and simple, but accurate, information about the Solar System in which they live. They will understand the difference between asteroids, meteors and comets, which is often confusing for adults. This book is appropriate to read aloud to young children and for older children who can read on their own.

Young readers will marvel at the many features of our Solar System, which include eight planets, an Asteroid Belt and the Kuiper Belt of icy objects. Readers will meet famous astronomers like Nicolas Copernicus and astronauts like Neil Armstrong. They will learn about the special qualities of Planet Earth and why we need to use our resources wisely.
