If you like your fact books densely packed and picture book size then this is perfect for you. The book takes the format of a different question on each page and some quite detailed text in answer with a large photograph or illustration. It is one of those books which if you are interested in the subject matter you wont be able to put down. I enjoyed it.
However, I had intended that it might be really good for the children from Year 2 onwards and I think to be honest its a little bit dense for that age range, more suited to Year 5 and 6 at least. With my children I used it as a resource from which I could paraphrase the answers to the questions and it worked well enough like that because of the quality of the images. Since Fifi in Reception is learning about space I used it a lot!
All, in all a handy book to have on the shelf and I’m looking forward to seeing other books in this series as I found it full of interesting facts, so many I think I may have driven the husband mad!
