National Geographic Little Kids First Big Book of Space

What I appreciate about this book is that it uses real pictures. This book is written for elementary students, but it does not talk down to them. Real names are used, fun facts are highlighted and each item is described in detail. Highly recommended book.

This National Geographic Kids guide to the solar system contains more than one hundred photographs and illustrations that support a simple text for beginning readers. Filled with fun facts and questions to encourage interactive learning, this book introduces young readers to space and all that is in it. Parent tips offer ideas for shared learning experiences for parents and children. A glossary is included.

Highly recommended.
