Great First Encyclopedia for Space!, April 11 2008

This book provides information that kids love and is great for ESOL students. My students often have a hard time getting information from a source they can actually read. These books help. I'm sure younger readers love them too.

Good starter space encyclopedia, Mar 26 2012

I got this for my 5 year old, to increase his interest in the outer space and our solar system. It was a very good first space encyclopedia. The first half has a lot of stuff about radio waves, space equipment, astronauts, rocket ships and space shuttles. The second half covers the solar system, planets, stars and the universe.
It was very easy for my son to read each section and look at the pictures.

I got three of these Usborne First Encyclopedias for my 5 year old daughter for Christmas. They are a little shorter and simpler than I expected, but she likes flipping through them. Basically there is a topic on each two-page spread, with a lot of pictures. We've used them a couple times when she asked me a specific question, and I found the answers easily using the index. For the price, I think they're a good addition to your child's reference library.
