A full-color space book for kids ages 4-8 that answers the questions they actually ask - and shows them how to test the answers tonight.
Written for parents, grandparents and teachers of curious 4- to 8-year-olds who love planets, rockets and the night sky, 100 Whys About Space is a first space encyclopedia built the way young children explore: one big question at a time.
Why is the Moon sometimes out in the daytime? What is inside a black hole? Could I jump higher on the Moon? Every page opens with a real question children ask, then gives two answers at once: a bold one-line answer a four-year-old can repeat to Grandma, and a step-by-step explanation for the eight-year-old who wants the whole story. All 100 answers are checked against current science, so the planets, missions and telescopes in this book are the ones your child will hear about at school this year.
Lia keeps the Question Book. Leo tests everything with a flashlight, a balloon and a tray of flour. Pixel the robot guesses first and is wrong on every page - which is exactly why kids keep turning the pages.
Inside this illustrated space book, your child will discover:
- The Sun, the Moon and all eight planets - plus Pluto and why it is called a dwarf planet
- Stars, galaxies and black holes, explained with things you already have in the kitchen
- How a rocket steers, how astronauts sleep and eat, and what a day on the space station is really like
- Which bright star over your garden is actually people flying overhead
- 8 try-it-tonight experiments - a coin, a glass of water and a flashlight are enough
- 32 big painted scenes made for lap-reading, not tiny clip art
- The questions even scientists are still working on, and how they are hunting for the answers
104 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, every page in full color. Available in paperback and hardcover.
Even if your child cannot read yet, the bold lines and the paintings carry the book on their own. Even if your eight-year-old already knows everything about space, the step-by-step answer under every question holds a fact that will surprise them - and you. And if you have been disappointed by space books that turned out to be walls of tiny text or lists of facts with no pictures: this one was made to be read out loud, together, at bedtime.
A first astronomy book, a bedtime read-aloud, a homeschool science shelf staple, and a birthday or holiday gift for the kid who never stops asking why.
Scroll up and get your copy today - the next question is coming at bedtime.
