Space Dictionary for Kids

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This book is chock full of information. Full-color photos, as well as drawings and diagrams, are used to illustrate the information on each page.

I'm not a big fan of outer space, but I enjoyed reading this book. The text is written in an interesting and easy-to-read manner. The abundance of illustrations help break up the material, making all the information easier to digest. This book would make great reading for anyone with an interest in anything related to outer space. Teachers could use it in the classroom as additional source material for units on space.,Christine M Irvin,KidsReads, 7/12/16
Teachers and pre-service teachers will find the versatility of this book helpful for a quick check of space facts, helping students do independent research, and for differentiated instruction. I recommend this reference book for classroom teachers and students in Pre-K-grade 12. I can envision Space Dictionary being used in a variety of ways at all grade levels for all students including gifted and talented and special education. Children love learning interesting science facts and this book can contribute to their learning! Lois Spangler,NSTA Recommends, 9/7/16
This specialized dictionary features fascinating information paired with stellar illustrations . . . The book is as up-to-date as possible in a field that is constantly making new discoveries, with major findings from 2015 included and numerical facts consistently prefaced with "As of 2016 . . . " Though a dictionary format may not appeal to all readers, the design is attractive and the content is especially useful as a counterpoint in collections that already contain narrative nonfiction titles on the topic. A valuable astronomy resource with a place in juvenile collections of any size.,Kacy Helwick,School Library Journal, 9/19/16
