Review by Horn Book Review

In simple question-and-answer format, these books describe basic facts about space. Some explanations can be confusing because the text is so minimal, but the vocabulary is easy to read. Impressive photographs and amateurish cartoon sketches accompany the writing. Each title includes "fun facts" and a page describing the types of scientists who study the topic. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these I Like Space! titles: What Are Stars?, What Do Astronauts Do?, What Do You Know about Earth?, What Do You Know about the Sun?, What Is the Moon?, and What Is the Solar System?] (c) Copyright 2010.
