"In students' hands, this book can spark the imagination and lead to further exploration." --NSTA
-- (7/1/2011 12:00:00 AM)"The information provided is clear, concise, easy to understand, and would provide a foundation for any young space scientist's education." --Library Media Connection
-- (1/1/2012 12:00:00 AM)"These titles cover their topics in broad strokes and crank up the general interest level with a relatively large photo or (more often) a dramatic artist's rendition on every page." --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
-- (11/1/2011 12:00:00 AM)"Together, the books could form a solid but expensive basis for a unit on Astronomy or Space Science. Individually, they address the individual topics well." --Science Books & Films
