It's great for introducing Space to your child

Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates on 21 March 2021

I love this book. It's the first science book for my 5 yrs old, whom, I homeschool. The contents are precise and introduce the concepts of day and night, planets and stars which are easy to comprehend by a 5yrs old. I would highly recommend this!!!!!!

All the page completely falled out when my son read it the first day! It's my first time to see a new book with such terrible binding. To be honest, the content is nice,I hope the seller can change us a new book soon when you get this review.

This book, and others from the same publisher, have been very educative. The content and layout are perfect to hold my 4 year old son’s interest.

The Book Depository delivers books in excellent condition. This is my 10th book with them and they’ve all come in pristine condition.

America Centric

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 April 2021

Verified Purchase

I liked the book, and so do my kids. But apparently, only America has Astronauts. Only America sent probes into Space, only America has space stations, and only America has explored the solar system, and nobody else ever sent any satellites or rovers outside Earth except USA. Or maybe others did, and this book just prefers to not acknowledge that.

There is no mention of ESA, Roscosmos, CNSA (Chinese space agency, who sent probes to the moon) the Russian probes to Venus or Lunokhod, the ESA probes etc. There are literally American flags on several pages. I thought Space was about exploration, about nations coming together to explore and to discover, about international discoveries and science, but apparently, America did it all by themselves and nobody else could possibly have sent say a probe to Venus (which the USA has never done), and nobody else has explored anything. The spelling is entirely American too, despite me purchasing this book from Amazon UK. I mean I expected the US spelling from National Geographic, which is a US publication, but I did not expect that they would completely ignore all efforts by the rest of the world and only talk about what NASA has done. Quite disappointed in that respect. Again, Science and space exploration are an international collaborative effort, ISS doesn't only carry US astronauts and was built as much by Russia as it was the USA, but this book is 100% flag waving for the USA and ignores anything any other country did, and that disappoints me. One might even go so far as to call this propaganda.

However, my kids and I did like the book. It's colourful, easy to understand, and to the point. It was fun for them to learn about the planets. But my children are half Russian, they know full well that Russia sent probes to Venus, sent robots to the moon...but it isn't mentioned in this book at all, only America. The explanations of the planets, the solar system, the composition of the planets is good. I don't regret purchasing it .. It's just a shame it's 100% USA focused and ignores any discovery that America didn't do.

There are many pictures that include astronauts, rockets, probes etc that all feature the stars and stripes but not one mention of Russia/Roscosmos/JAXA/ESA etc.

This would be a great book for anyone who's children want to learn about space, and the planets and the solar system. But it completely ignores any space effort by anyone but the USA.

A great book ready for when my children take an interest in space

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 July 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a great book with loads to learn about space.
I will be honest though and say it hasn't gripped my children's attention very much. But I think that's because they're 5 and this book is a little bit too factual for them, when it's not a very keen interest for them.
This book will be fab when we need to learn about space, and I can imagine it would be a brilliant book for any young ones who do have a big interest in space.
Despite my children's current lack of interest in our I still gave it 5 stars, because from a parents perspective I know this is a great book and will one day be enjoyed.

"Daddy, how big is the universe?"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2018

Verified Purchase

This is brilliant for my four year old boy's enquiring mind - expect lots of questions from your child that you probably can't answer. I am not ashamed to say I have also learned a thing or two. Did you know Mars is red because the mountains are mostly made of iron, and the rusting iron is the cause of the planet's "redness"? Me neither, until I bought this book. For my son, obviously.....

Great buy!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 December 2019

6yr old granddaughter was refusing to read school reading books - too easy, boring! So I asked what she wanted to read - Space, Big Bang, Dinosaurs she replied!
After some searching I found this series (I am an ex- Primary teacher) and it seemed ideal: graded levels, lovely pictures, short chunks of text, punchy attractive presentation. I bought several on different topics - and she was thrilled. Has already re-read this one more than once!

Great book for children!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 July 2020

Verified Purchase

The book arrived as expected in immaculate condition. The images are stunning and there are lots of information explained in a style suitable for children. It can help children (and adults!) learn accurate space facts in a visually attractive and well organised way. I love that in some cases they include how to pronounce certain things, as it builds up with the concept of accuracy or real facts that I think the book intends. My child is enjoying very much reading the different sections/chapters of the book and is very proud to tell others about what they are learning. The only negative thing is that soon after it arrived, a couple of pages were detaching from the spine of the book, and we had to mend it. Still, it has been our first purchase of the National Geographic First Book series but will definitely not be the last one. I highly recommend it for children who prefer non-fiction reading content.
