Slightly Disappointing, Jan 11 2010
By Ursula K. Raphael "AstraDaemon, The Zombiephiles" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dk First Space Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
After reading the product description and the other reviews, I was expecting this book to be centered around the solar system. When in fact, the section on the solar system is one of the smallest sections, and doesn't really go into much detail about the planets -- least of all other space objects like Ceres, Eris, the Kuiper Belt, etc.
The title is very misleading. This is not an encyclopedia about space itself, but rather space science: astronaut training, satellites, and other space technology. They even put in a mention of stormtroopers from Star Wars (space in pop culture), and gave four pages to UFOs.
There is a tremendous amount of information provided, and this is a nice addition to our homeschool library, but I don't understand why our solar system wasn't given more attention. I noticed that a lot of the science facts found in this book could also be found in the DK First Science Encyclopedia.

Absolute winner!!, Feb 9 2009
By Jennifer E. Burch "unconditional" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dk First Space Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
We bought this for my daughter on her fifth birthday and she simply adores it. It comes in the car with us, to the dinner table, she's been up many a night reading it when she was supposed to be asleep, etc. This book is very well done with lots of facts that my solar system obsessed daughter didn't know. It's done in accessible language with gorgeous pictures. Highly recommended!

Great book, Feb 20 2009
By Robin Wood "ichabodwood" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dk First Space Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my four-year old daughter. It's a great first encyclopedia. Lots of photos and interesting information. She's a little young for a book with this much information on one page though. She easily gets distracted by all the shiny objects. At least we can answer her questions. I know she'll grow into this book.
