Review by Booklist Review

The final frontier still seems endless in the Watch This Space! series. Similar to the universe itself, the volumes start with basic concepts and keep expanding on the content. Like a clear night sky, the layout consists of dark backgrounds that highlight vibrant colors, computer-style fonts, and a plethora of photo reproductions and simulated models. Each page consists of multiple text boxes that group information into manageable and engaging chunks. The Universe, Black Holes, and the Big Bang focuses on the universe and its beginning and discusses such topics as clusters, black holes, dark matter, and possible extraterrestrial life. Together, these books cover all aspects of space, combining pertinent facts with a cool factor.--Leeper, Angela Copyright 2016 Booklist
