The Mysteries of the Universe (Hardcover)

Space questions children actually ask, about black holes, distant moons and what lies past the planets, shape the 224 pages of this illustrated survey. Objects are presented one to a spread, each given an illustration and a short account of what it is and why it matters, which lets a young reader dip in anywhere. The selection ranges across planets, moons, stars, nebulae and phenomena that remain only partly understood. Presentation leans on large artwork and short text blocks, an approach that works for readers roughly six to eleven. Closer look: • One object or phenomenon per spread, each with artwork and a short account • Planets, moons, stars, nebulae and unexplained phenomena all included • Short text blocks that suit readers working through it alone • 224 hardcover pages from DK Children Good for curious children between about six and eleven and for primary school libraries, published by DK Children and found at Boipoka.
