Brightly coloured and designed to encourage questions and further discussion, My First Book of Space was written by astrophysicist and official Star Trek science advisor Erin Macdonald. I think it is most appropreiate for Toddlers and preschoolers. The text doesn't speak down to kids but rather playfully states facts. And the illustrations tie in with Star Trek which is cute and fun. There are plenty of opportunities to reflect on the text and ask questions - which is great for engaging children.… (altro)

From planet Earth, where we live, we can look up at the night sky and see SPACE, the final frontier.

We trekked to the moon, a place with no air and many craters. But there are eight other planets in our solar system that we have not visited. We’ve learned about them with satellites and probes.

Would you like to visit one of those other planets? Would you like to travel into space?
