Review of
Explore
the World of Space and the Universe, by Iain Nicolson ISBN
0307686086
Four out of five stars
Written in
1992, this book about the stars, planets and other astronomical objects is
somewhat dated. Yet, for the most part it remains accurate and the colorful images
and explanations are interesting to look at and read. Astronomy is one of the
most fascinating areas of study and this book is an excellent primer written for
the child in the middle years of elementary school.
Telescopes and
the locations of some of the most famous ones are also mentioned. While there
is little depth to the coverage, this is an excellent selection as a child’s
first book on astronomy.
