Product Description
The latest title in DK's First Reference series introduces the universe, visiting all the planets of our solar system and their moons, as well as our Sun and other stars, black holes, asteroids, comets, and other galaxies. Up to date with the latest astronomical theories, First Space Encyclopedia includes information about the great Pluto debate and the recent discovery of an Earth-like planet, as well as pictures from the latest voyages by shuttles, rovers, and probes, and the conflicting evidence on aliens and UFOs. And of course, young space enthusiasts will want to know all about the cool technology behind what astronauts wear, what they do to train, and even what they eat. All of this and more is ready to reference in a thorough and accessible hardcover volume just right for young scholars.

 Absolute winner!! February 10, 2009

We bought this for my daughter on her fifth birthday and she simply adores it. It comes in the car with us, to the dinner table, she's been up many a night reading it when she was supposed to be asleep, etc. This book is very well done with lots of facts that my solar system obsessed daughter didn't know. It's done in accessible language with gorgeous pictures. Highly recommended!

I bought this book for my four-year old daughter. It's a great first encyclopedia. Lots of photos and interesting information. She's a little young for a book with this much information on one page though. She easily gets distracted by all the shiny objects. At least we can answer her questions. I know she'll grow into this book.

Great space reference book for my 5 year old granddaughter. She has all of the DK encyclopedias and dictionaries now. She absolutely loves them.
My Grandson Loved It September 10, 2009

My 7 year old granson wants to be an astronaut. This book has kept him interested and he is reading more and more of it by himself with good understanding. The book focuses on specific yet simple explanations of all aspects of space. It's a winner in my book.

My daughter was so excited when she got this book. It has quite a bit of information about space and the moon. It was in excellent condition. Very pleased with all the books that we have purchased not only from Amazon, but also from private sellers.
Thanks
