"Espreita o universo" é um livro especialmente pensado para os pequenos curiosos sobre o espaço, o universo e todos os segredos que ele esconde. Este é livro pensado para os mais pequenos a partir dos dos seis anos e promete uns bons momentos de aprendizagem de forma divertida em família.

O conceito do livro é semelhante aos restantes desta colecção, "Espreita" da Porto Editora: o livro vai apresentando diferentes factos e questões sobre os quais podemos encontrar mais informação ou descobrir as respostas levantando as mais de 70 abas que compõem este livro. Trata-se de um livro ilustrado, com ilustrações simples mas bastante apelativas, que explora desde as galáxias, às estrelas, aos planetas ou aos buracos negros, puxando pela curiosidade dos mais novos e estimulando o seu interesse pela área das Ciências e da Astronomia. Sem dúvida, um livro que recomendo a todos e que poderá ser um óptimo ponto de partida para uma vista ao Planetário Calouste Gulbenkian para aprofundar algumas das perguntas e respostas que podem ser encontradas neste livro.
