This is a really good informational book about space. It covers a wide variety of topics such as the sun and moon, the planets, stars, life in space, astronauts, and the future in space. I really liked this book. I especially liked how many pictures there are and how interesting they are to look at. I also loved the layout of this book. While it contains a lot of information, the words are big and not too cluttered making it easy to read and understand. I also like that it is broken up into chapters so you can focus on one topic at a time if you want to. I also love the way the pictures are placed throughout the book. It also has a table of contents and glossary which are always important for any informational book. I also loved that it had some games to play in the back of the book. There really wasn't anything I disliked about this book. Overall this is a great informational book on space. It would be perfect in any classroom to teach about space and can be used for a wide range of grades from younger to older students.… (más)

This book was about the history of space exploration. It was a great resource as it featured lots of pictures with labels and captions. It has the text features of a textbook like contents, index, and glossary. The book also features a resources page where students can see other places to find more information on space exploration. I would use this as a resource on a study of space. This book could also be used for an history lesson as it delves into the space race and how countries and governments competed. It is for upper elementary ages.… (más)
