Love these books!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2021

Wow, love these books! The quality is amazing, lots of beautiful images and an elegant gold lined edging all around which gave it a more luxurious feel.
I bought this for my daughter, along with the nature version. She is really getting into space and the universe at the moment so I wanted her to have some books that she could keep looking back on in the years to come.
These are books that I think you could def hand down to different generations, one to keep in a home library.
It has some great information which is clear and easy to understand. My daughter is 9yrs old and she has really enjoyed reading this book. She has dyslexia and finds it difficult to focus on certain sized wording, she has some special glasses which help to reduce the strain on her eyes. This book had a really good balance of images and wording which kept her interest and didn't put too much strain on her when reading.
I would def recommend this book for any family or anyone who has an interest in space and the universe. It's a keeper and was well worth the money.

Signs of wear

Firstly I was surprised by a quick delivery and the book itself is amazing (the content and the photos/pictures). It supposed to be a Christmas present for my daughter, who loves reading and she soaks in every information about the space.
Unfortunately only two stars for the signs of wear. It supposed to be a new book. I am going to contact Amazon and will leave another review afterwards.

Great family book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2020

I love this book, we bought one then the other two to make the set. They are brilliant for our kids, each double spread has a different item to explain in a short detailed way ok in language brilliant for the kids. Our 4, 6 and 8 year olds love these as well, the 8 year old reads them from cover to cover, the 6 year old dips in and out of things that look good and the 4 year old likes the pictures and asks us to read bits out.
The gold edging adds to the look and with the covers look very special.

My nephew enjoyed it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2021

Verified Purchase

My nephew enjoyed this book. He got it for Christmas, and had his nose in it, reading facts to us all day. This was fairly easy for him, because the information is presented in well laid out spreads across a couple of pages, with a mixture of small, and longer form information common.

Great for children and adults

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2020

I love this book. Whilst its main intended audience are children, it also serves as a great book of reference for a starting point to find out more about our fabulous, fragile and fantastic universe.
