"4 year old son loves space, stars, etc and enjoys this book, I like it to, as it teaches things I didn't know or can't remember from school!"
"However, we've had it about a month and all of the pages keep falling out."
"Very simple, understandable concepts even for young kids and the pictures are phenomenal."
"Sure isn't as well constructed at the same books I ordered as a teacher 15 years ago."
"Very well done books with great photography/art (what else would you expect from NG?). He got them a year ago when he turned 4."
"Pictures are great and easily interpreted and the book "sections" well, meaning you can read about the planets one night then the next learn about the comets or galaxies, etc."
"Great quality!"
