A dark background on everything makes sense for SPACE! I remember I got into my space phase early as a child (maybe 1st grade), but there's no reason to avoid introducing concepts even earlier! Again, I really appreciate the reread value of this series for infant (just the ABCs) to bigger kids (sentence structure!) ( )

Mx and Mom like this one. Simple and advanced at the same time.

A good gift for a space fan with a newborn, this book isn’t intended for babies, but it provides parents something interesting and educational to read in colorful board-book format while giving the baby the experience of being read to. Each page covers one letter of the alphabet, from Asteroid to Zenith, and includes a one-sentence definition: “I is for Inflation. Inflation was the very rapid expansion of the universe shortly before the big bang.” Another paragraph with more detailed explanation follows. ( )

I absolutely love this book. Not only is it written by actual scientists but it is written so that it can continue to engage the child as their cognitive abilities grow.
