Why read it?

2 authors picked There's No Place Like Space as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

 My space-loving kiddo picks up this book every time he spots it on the shelf, “No Place, Space!” he shouts.

While it’s dated and says Pluto is a planet, he laughs out loud and enjoys pointing to the planets and saying the names along with the book.

This is a great book to start your little ones on their very first space adventure. Tish Rabe takes the Dr. Seuss’s Cat in the Hat character on a journey to teach children about the planets, the moon, and the sun. But it doesn’t stop there! The book also touches on famous constellations, the moon landing, and lots of cool and wacky facts about the solar system. Neptune’s bright blue color and Saturn’s incredible lightness are just a few of the fun snippets of space knowledge scattered throughout the book. Wonderful illustrations combined with whimsical prose will keep young readers…
