Description
Like a more informative coffee book for young space enthusiasts, this stunning book's pages are dripping with lavish, full-color photographs of the great beyond. Gorgeous spreads of information led by visuals cover star deaths and births, planets of our solar system, animals in space, space inventions, black holes, galaxies outside the Milky Way, and much more. While highly educational, the small sections of text ensure that learning is never overwhelming. As an adult flipping through this, I appreciated especially that the text never “talks down" to intended readers by overly simplifying information or making childish analogies. The photos within this book come from NASA and the International Space Station. The text emphasizes an evolutionary world view. 208 pgs., pb.
