These books are really fab because they are so simple to read and always accompanied with labelled diagrams. I can really see the kids enjoying these.

„100 факта: Изследвай Космоса“ на Стив Паркър е приятна, образователна, интересна и бърза за четене енциклопедия въвеждаща главно в сферата на астронавтиката (процесът по изследване на космическото пространство с помощта на автоматични и пилотирани космически апарати). Енциклопедията е илюстрирана с много качествени изображения и схеми.
