Review: GREAT BOOK BUT BAD PACKAGING! - This book is great to start teaching my kids about space. The images inside or gorgeous and ignites interest in the reader/viewer(s) of the book. It did come with a dented hardcover because it was placed in a large box without any kind of protection, but I domt want to take away starts from the book because that's a packaging issue that either the seller or desertcart needs to address. I did see in other reviews that everyone's experienced the same. So please seller/desertcart do better on fitting this book in an appropriate package. Review: Beautiful photos and excellent content - My kids is three and loves going through the pages as we read to him. The quality of each pages are beautiful. The font size is large enough and the languages are simple enough (not difficult to read) for younger audience. The content are excellent because shares many facts and details about each planet that it will take some time for kids to learn our solar system. I purchase one with softcover so my little one can carry it with him all the time. Excellent book for kids who likes to learn more about each planet in the solar system and enjoy look at photos instead of illustrations.

Great book, easy to understand and fun for the kids!
My son got the book from the public library and love it so much that wanted me to buy it for him. At first didn't see the value to it until I look at it and read it with my boys. Indeed, an UpToDate book with great information and lots of pictures, both my kids 15 and 10 yrs. of age enjoy the book, will say I enjoy it too.

Really engaging graphics and pictures [not for flat earthers!]
and organized very well with lots of very good facts and details. Scale and everything is presented very well as well as our location in the known universe, how we observe, space travel and good section on the earth, moon, sun and our solar system/planets. It is a bit unfortunate that they depict the earth as "a round sphere" for those ascribing to flat earth theory.

Definite buy for a preteen that likes space

Gives a good historical background to space exploration.
I received a request from Amazon Answers to respond to a question about this book. The question concerned how up to date the material is in the book. The book was published in 2020. It might not be the most up to date book out there, but it is a good reference book for kids.

Chock full of space photos and facts
This book is full of beautiful colourful photos and lots of interesting space facts. Would be great for both kid and adult space nerds. A great collector item or coffee table book, I pour over it often. Super happy with Smithsonian books!

Damaged right out of the box
Pretty noticeable damage to the corner straight out of the package, the book itself seems like a good read. But I'd almost wished I'd went to a store to avoid this
