Review:

As you can see, this is a simpler book about all things space, for elementary kids, though middle school kids might appreciate the corny jokes and information as well. It's a good starting point to talking about all things space, to go along with an astronomy curriculum, or as an add on for a fun book report. For those with wold view beliefs, it does start with the Big Bang, and references it multiple times within the book. But as you can see, a lot of info IS packed into every page, and even Miss Grace found out a few new facts from it. So if your kids are into all things space, you might want to give it a try!
