Super Cool Space Facts is full of funny jokes and fun facts, lovingly conveyed by someone who knows their stuff and who explains the science clearly and simply. With gorgeous, colorful retro graphics and the latest in cool space pictures, Dr. Betts' delightful book brings the Universe down to Earth. Anyone who's ever wondered about what's out there will enjoy this accessible, informative, and joyful book."--Amy Mainzer, Professor of Planetary Sciences at the University of Arizona and host of PBS Kids series, Ready Jet Go!

"I can't wait till my pre-school grandson is a little bit older so that he can enjoy this great new book. It's perfect for the 4- to 8-year-old kids Bruce has written it for. I know I'd have eaten it up at that age. The bite-sized facts are fascinating and entertaining, and the jokes are...well, perfect for these young readers. I also love the design. Budding space geeks will find lots to keep them interested, while I expect many more kids will discover that the wonders of the universe can take them on a lifelong journey."--Mat Kaplan, Host and Producer of Planetary Radio
