National Geographic Little Kids First Big Book of Space (National Geographic Little Kids First Big Books)

My 3 year old loves them.

Got this as part of a themed present for my 4 year old nephew, in addition to a rocket and astronaut helmet. His Mom will have to read it to him for a while, but he loved the vibrant photos and flipping through the pages!

This book is perfect for kids around 4-8 years old and is filled with beautiful, vibrant illustrations. My 5 year-old grandson absolutely loves it! The book introduces a variety complex concepts like the solar system, stars, and galaxies in a way that is both engaging and educational. I love how it's broken into bite-sized sections, making it perfect for short attention spans. National Geographic does it again!

Very interesting for children

My kid loves this book. It has been just a few days that we have had it and it has been read twice already.I would highly recommend this book.

I have been asked to read this book approximately 176,000 times since receiving for my 3-year-old son. Overall, the content is good. They deftly straddle the Pluto-lovers vs. deGrasse-Tysonites planetary nomenclature struggle: objectively framing the Tysonites as correct without allowing them too much gloating, thus avoiding complete alienation of the Pluto-lovers. Really, if it’s that important to you either way, rumble in observatory back parking lot during the next planetary conjunction to settle it once and for all. Otherwise, just let us talk about our space-things without too much judgment of our character.Anyway, back to the book. The pictures are clear and printed well, and artwork is interesting without being comical. There are some annoying inaccuracies I have to correct mid-flight. For example (pg. 14) orbits are ellipses not circles and (pg. 10) I don’t know on what planet the sun sets as the moon rises next to it but according to everything I’ve been taught everywhere except pg. 10 of this book it’s not Earth. I also end up skipping the open-ended New Math-style questions like “If you could name a moon, what would you call it?” as well as the age-appropriateness dissonant “Can you count to 27?” questions. It’s also looking like the binding will give out around 10^6 readings, but that’s still pretty solid in my mind for the price.

My oldest has been reading this book since he was 3, and loves it more and more as he grows. Got it as a gift and had to buy a second one after we read it so many times that my little guy had ripped a few pages out. Started being great to learn planets and now that he can read, he is learning all sorts of fun information. I have learned so much reading it to him! Very fascinating, well organized, and our favorite of the. National Geographic kids books!

my 4 year old memorised all the planets in couple of days looking at them
