a good place to start November 21, 2009

Now that space travel is an option, it's important that children today grow up thinking about outer space. Although this book doesn't get into deep scientific detail, it's a good early step toward learning about space, and all the possibilities that space travel has to offer.
Although I do not agree with the heliocentric ideas presented in this book, it is healthy for a child to dream about traveling in outer space. So I feel that any book that can get a child thinking about outer space is worth buying.
What's Out There great read for kids interested in space January 11, 2009

I enjoyed the book . It explains things easily. The only thing I didnt get was on one page, it said "the next 3 planets are the gas giants..." and it has a picture of 4 planets. I dont know if its a typo or what! LOL Then it also confused me because it doesnt consider Pluto a planet. I grew up thinkingit was. Maybe scientists changed that recently but it threw me off a little.
great book January 7, 2008

I am kind of disappointed at this book. The illustration is dull. The words are plain.
Not very appealing for preschoolers or 1-2 graders, while it is too simple for a savvy reader. I would not recommend it for either gifts or self use.
