Lots of detail on 12 different spacecraft
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As with other DK books in the "cross-section" series, the illustrations are drawn with parts missing so we can peer inside and see what is going on. Twelve spacecraft are featured. Lots of detail and tidbits of information are learned. My 3 year-old son is into a space phase and he sits absorbed looking at this book for up to an hour. A wonderful book to keep in the car so the child can look at this himself and be entertained while we are driving, especially on long trips. Another great use is to browse while in a restaurant. In the process of reading this I am learning a lot about spacecraft. I like the paperback edition, as it is easily portable. Paper stock is better than most and is high gloss, so it is more durable than the usual paperback book paper. Highly recommended for the space-interested child. Despite what the publisher recommends for ages, I feel this would be of interest to 2 year-olds and up; so long as they are interested in spacecraft, it will hold their attention. Since tidbits of information are small the parent can pick and choose what to read before the child wants to move on to the next page. My three year-old won't sit while I read every single bit of text but that is okay!
