A gloriously illustrated first guide to outer space.

Learn the science of the universe in this introductory guide to space. Understand how stars form, why planets orbit the sun, what tools scientists use to learn about our solar system, and more in this carefully written text for young readers by children’s natural history author Camilla de la Bedoyere. Split into four clear sections (What Is Space?, Outer Space, The Solar System, and The Space Age), this guide to space features Aaron Cushley’s vivid and captivating illustrations and includes a search-and-find element with a shooting star hiding throughout.
A broad overview of outer space and what can be found there, from satellites to black holes. . . . The sheer scope of the topic, not to mention the universe, comes through clearly. . . . The book earns high marks for inclusivity.
