ANOTHER GREAT COLORING BOOK FROM DOVER!!!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
We use Dover coloring books with our science and history homeschool curriculum. My children love the pictures and they are great for any age. This book has pictures and information from Ptolemy to Hawking. There are pictures of the individual planets as well as the scientists, sattelites, telescopes, space travel.... If you love Dover then you know it is a great book. If you've never purchased a Dover this is a great one if you are interested in the history of space exploration.
