My four year old aspires to be a pilot and loves all things about flying and space。 This book was added into our nighttime routine and he was always eager to have me read a page or two。 With incredible photos， great layouts， short paragraphs， this is a pretty amazing first big non-fiction book for my early reader。 Added bonus: reading about space and staring at stars has been so helpful with putting my little one in a calm mood right before bed。

I originally read this because I found out my two-year-old nephew is currently obsessed with space。 Needless to say， this is a good amount above a toddler’s understanding， but I’d say it’s good for kids around age four to read with parents。 Maybe kindergarten or first grade （age 6-7） for them to really understand some of the concepts in this book。 It’s a bit outdated at this point though。 Some statements say a mission will begin in 2011， or a rocket will start to gather data in 2016。 That’s why I originally read this because I found out my two-year-old nephew is currently obsessed with space。 Needless to say， this is a good amount above a toddler’s understanding， but I’d say it’s good for kids around age four to read with parents。 Maybe kindergarten or first grade （age 6-7） for them to really understand some of the concepts in this book。 It’s a bit outdated at this point though。 Some statements say a mission will begin in 2011， or a rocket will start to gather data in 2016。 That’s why I’m giving this a four， or a 3。5 if I could， just because I’d be bothered having to figure out what’s happened since those dates。 That said， it might be fun for a parent and child to research those things together！ I also really like all the little experiment suggestions for parents at the end。 They seem easy and fun。 Space exploration has just moved WAY too fast for even recent books to keep up！Also。 The seventh planet isn’t pronounced YER-a-nus in my house and never will be， I will die on this hill。 :P 。。。more

I am bringing my Nephews to Nasa as their Christmas gift。 I bought this book so they would have something to open and learn some things beforehand。Super glad I went with this one。 I think I have read it about 5 times。 Twice out loud to my household （all adults） who urged me to read on if I tried to stop after a chapter。 I like the sections the book is broken out really helps someone who knows little about space。As someone who reads a lot and loved school， science wasn't my favorite （crazy I know I am bringing my Nephews to Nasa as their Christmas gift。 I bought this book so they would have something to open and learn some things beforehand。Super glad I went with this one。 I think I have read it about 5 times。 Twice out loud to my household （all adults） who urged me to read on if I tried to stop after a chapter。 I like the sections the book is broken out really helps someone who knows little about space。As someone who reads a lot and loved school， science wasn't my favorite （crazy I know） and National Geographic wasn't what I reached for。 I guess what I am trying to say is this is a good introductory to Space to get anyone intrigued adults or Children。 It intrigued me so much。。。。 I bought the adult version （hahaha） National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Night Sky 。。。more

As with the others in this series， this is a fun book full of great information geared towards a younger audience。 None of it is overwhelming， but neither is it missing anything important for a good overview of space。 If you have a kid with a science inclination or a space inclination， this is a great book to get them。

This is a great informational book that has so much knowledge of space。 It explains it in a fantastic way that can reach young students and keep older students engaged。 This book fits perfectly on an informational book shelf because of the space knowledge being presented。 My daughter loves this book。 This book can be used in an intro to space。 For pictures of planets。 And as a presentation。 And a writing project on "you are the expert of page _。" This is a great informational book that has so much knowledge of space。 It explains it in a fantastic way that can reach young students and keep older students engaged。 This book fits perfectly on an informational book shelf because of the space knowledge being presented。 My daughter loves this book。 This book can be used in an intro to space。 For pictures of planets。 And as a presentation。 And a writing project on "you are the expert of page _。" 。。。more

This National Geographic Kids guide to the solar system contains more than one hundred photographs and illustrations that support a simple text for beginning readers。 Filled with fun facts and questions to encourage interactive learning， this book introduces young readers to space and all that is in it。 Parent tips offer ideas for shared learning experiences for parents and children。 A glossary is included。Highly recommended。

Wonderful book， I’ve learned so much from this。 It does a fantastic job of explaining space in a non- confusing manner 。

It takes me THIRTY MINUTES to read this aloud to my four year old and he just sits through the whole thing and eats it all up even though we’ve read a hundred books about space over and over and over。 This is definitely one of the better ones。

It's got lots of beautiful pictures and simplistic space concepts for your aspiring astronaut。。。 Or any other children who might just be interested in learning about space。 It's got lots of beautiful pictures and simplistic space concepts for your aspiring astronaut。。。 Or any other children who might just be interested in learning about space。 。。。more

This book has now officially fallen apart due to excessive over-reading by children and is now carefully taped back together。

Space is my favorite subject in science。 This book is non-fiction。 This is published by Nation Geographic and is written Catherine D Hughes。I like this book because I learn new information。 eg。 Mercury is little bigger than Earth's moon， venus is the brightest object in the night sky， Mars is called red planet。 Jupiter has a storm called the great red spot， Saturn has 63 moons， Uranus is tlted on its side， Neptune has a storm called great dark spot。 I like reading this book because I want to wor Space is my favorite subject in science。 This book is non-fiction。 This is published by Nation Geographic and is written Catherine D Hughes。I like this book because I learn new information。 eg。 Mercury is little bigger than Earth's moon， venus is the brightest object in the night sky， Mars is called red planet。 Jupiter has a storm called the great red spot， Saturn has 63 moons， Uranus is tlted on its side， Neptune has a storm called great dark spot。 I like reading this book because I want to work at NASA。 。。。more

This is a beautiful book。 My 5-year-old son LOVES it。 He hangs on every picture and tidbit of info and wants to discuss while reading。 I recommend it for all space loving children and then parents。I mostly buy kindle books， but this is a very rewarding physical book to hold and look through - thick glossy pages， vibrant pictures， nice big text， excellent flow and layout - I can't say enough good things about it。 This is a beautiful book。 My 5-year-old son LOVES it。 He hangs on every picture and tidbit of info and wants to discuss while reading。 I recommend it for all space loving children and then parents。I mostly buy kindle books， but this is a very rewarding physical book to hold and look through - thick glossy pages， vibrant pictures， nice big text， excellent flow and layout - I can't say enough good things about it。 。。。more

National Geographic Kids Book of Space teaches the reader all about space from the sun， to planets and gas giants， to comets and more all while pairing each topic with beautiful photos and fun facts！ This book is a quick， but educational read that is full of great information about space and the universe。 The book is set up in a very kid-friendly manner that makes it easy to read and understand。 I would have this book available to students not only in my classroom library as a non-fiction book， National Geographic Kids Book of Space teaches the reader all about space from the sun， to planets and gas giants， to comets and more all while pairing each topic with beautiful photos and fun facts！ This book is a quick， but educational read that is full of great information about space and the universe。 The book is set up in a very kid-friendly manner that makes it easy to read and understand。 I would have this book available to students not only in my classroom library as a non-fiction book， but I would also reference it as a resource when teaching about the solar system。 It can be used to pull information from for research or for just a entertaining factual read for second grade in particular when covering Earth and Space。 。。。more

I haven't actually read this， but Isha is obsessed with it。 Just today， she sternly warned me never to go to space myself lest I should wander too close to a black hole， in which case I would never be able to escape and have to spend the rest of my life there。 I haven't actually read this， but Isha is obsessed with it。 Just today， she sternly warned me never to go to space myself lest I should wander too close to a black hole， in which case I would never be able to escape and have to spend the rest of my life there。 。。。more
