This book is extremely comprehensive. Kids will get a lot of information, but the language is not full of a lot of jargon, and the specialized language that is used is explained in detail. I like that it shows kids how vast the universe really is, and includes some breathtaking photos of the birth and death of stars. This is a great introduction to instruction about space, as it gives definitions and details about everything from instruments used to study space to types of spacecraft to different planets and their features. Again, each of these subjects comes with a lot of photographs so that students know exactly what they are reading about. This would be an awesome addition to any library!
