Description
A tour through the planets in our solar system into neighbouring galaxies, past newborn stars, exploding stars and a black hole.
Quick Summary
From the first page, this tour of the cosmos drops you into a rocket seat and lets you zoom past planets, stars, and black holes in a whirlwind of vivid imagery. Kids will love the bite-size facts that turn Saturn's rings into a glittering roller coaster and a black hole into a hungry monster that swallows light. If your kid loves the curiosity-driven delight of 'The Magic School Bus' and the bite-size facts in 'Space! A Kids' Encyclopedia', they'll devour this fast-paced tour of the cosmos. The book is perfect for kids ages 9-12 in grades 4-6, especially those who enjoy quick, fact-packed reads about space.
