Peek Inside Space

Peep Inside

by Anna Milbourne, Simona Dimitri (Illustrator)

This simple non-fiction book for very young children is filled with facts about space and the universe. Young children can lift the flaps and peek through the holes in the pages to find out lots about space; this interactive introduction to the subject is accurate, playful, and approachable. Space is a "hot" topic at the moment and is a fascinating subject that can lead little minds to be more interested about science as a whole.

This is a very cool book for young kids interested in space. They did a great job of making the illustrations and flaps interactive and accurate and informed but fun.

It's beautiful time when reading with kids

[Sherri Anderson]

My grandson and I read this together and he loved all the interactions.

[Elise Heery]

Love these types of books as it means that the children can actually engage in them. This is also quite educating as well

[Ellie]

Really good factual book for kids, but did not like that it drifted from this and included an alien on the very last page. May scare some young children.

[Alyce Caswell]

I can't say I agree with the placement of all the flaps, but kiddo seems to like it - he's even named the aliens at the end.

[Jonathan Cavazos]

I read this to my niece. She loved it.

[Taryn McCollum]

Easy to understand, bite sized information for toddlers.

One of the best children's books I've ever read. Hoping it inspires Matilda to become an astronaut.
