Reviews

Library Media Connection

“The information provided is clear, concise, easy to understand, and would provide a foundation for any young space scientist’s education.” —Library Media Connection

School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

“These titles cover their topics in broad strokes and crank up the general interest level with a relatively large photo or (more often) a dramatic artist’s rendition on every page.” —School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

Science Books & Films

“Together, the books could form a solid but expensive basis for a unit on Astronomy or Space Science. Individually, they address the individual topics well.” —Science Books & Films

NSTA

“In a student’s hand, this book will spark the imagination and lead to further exploration.” —NSTA
