Stars and Planets

by D.K. Publishing

Some subjects are too interesting to be left at school! Carry on your love of science at home with Stars & Planets - an activity-packed exploration of space and astronomy.

Divided into sections, the book starts with fast facts on topics including stars, galaxies, planets, the Solar System, the Universe, and space travel; and the book ends with charts of Solar System facts and space record breakers. Using this information, you can complete the puzzles in the main part of the book, plus there are hands-on activities such as drawing your own scale model of the Solar System and creating a lunar eclipse. Finally, test your new-found knowledge with the quick quizzes (with answers supplied, but no peeking!). You can keep track of your achievements throughout with a star-chart to fill in every time you finish a page.

I thought this was a good enough book! I would like to get individual books of all the planets, moons, etc, but I haven’t found any good ones. My Mr. Dino bookmark hangs out on this book 😃

Really informative with some awesome graphics. Not as dry as a text book, but still serious about the subject matter. Would highly recommend.

Putting this one down for a bit, On page 220. Really enjoyed what I've read so far but I want to focus on a different coffee table book
