Review by Booklist Review
Each of these new titles in the Kingfisher Readers series, variously leveled from 2 through 5, offers something different to young readers. The use of visuals is simple but effective from one large, bright photo per page to a mix of photos, illustrations, and labeled diagrams. Space (level 5) zooms out from Earth to the moon, planets, solar system, and galaxy beyond but also tracks human interaction with and understanding of space. Each title begins with a note to parents by literacy specialist Ellie Costa on how to effectively use the book, including helpful activities and questions for warm-ups, pre-reading, during reading, and after reading tips that could also be useful for classroom or library use.--Aronin, Miriam Copyright 2010 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review
This advanced leveled reader presents basic facts and vocabulary from the fields of astronomy and space science. Double-page spreads with several paragraphs touch on each topic, including components of the solar system, stars, space exploration, and astronautic technology. Numerous color photographs, illustrations, diagrams, and captions add helpful information to each page layout. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2013.
