3, 2, 1...Blast Off!

There's something about outer space that draws us all in, no matter our age. For me, it's because for every known fact, there are a million unanswered questions. The possibility of life on another planet, in another solar system, in another galaxy is a mystery that is fun to contemplate, though it may not be determined in my lifetime. For my kids everything about the night sky is fun (the bright moon, the twinkling stars, the dark sky). Usborne Books has a wonderful variety of space-themed books that will take your child on the most wonderful mysterious adventure through outer space.

On the Moon

Look Inside Space

Blast off into space with this fascinating flip book. Find out how the moon was made, why stars shine and how we know so much about planets that are far, far away.
