Stars, Stars, Stars

I’m more than a little bias towards space books geared towards kids. I’ve always loved the pure vastness and enormity of space, and if I had a kid I know I would try to pass that love on to them.

Stars! Stars! Stars! is a beautifully illustrated book that briefly visits each planet and a few stars that would be excellent for young readers especially if you are just beginning to introduce them to space. The back of the book even comes with a bit of info on each planet, as well as some key terms to help them understand the universe a bit more.

This one is definitely a keeper in my opinion. The only thing wrong with it is the fact that it’s a tad outdated and includes Pluto, but I don’t really think that is too much of a problem. Tiny kids don’t really see the difference in dwarf planets and normal ones anyway.
