First Space Book is a children's science book about the Universe, for readers aged 5 and up and for adults sharing the pages. It sits in the First Reference series.

The spreads move through planets, stars, space travel and astronauts. Artwork is bright, simple and clearly labelled. Quirky cartoon characters carry extra facts, so the reading stays light.

A practical activity on every spread asks the child to do something with the page, not only look at it. A glossary is there for the new words.

A wall poster of the Solar System comes with the book, for a bedroom wall or a second look after the book is closed. Use it as a first space book, a gift for a child who asks about planets, or a starter when space comes up at school.

This book is for you if you want a short, illustrated introduction to space, with activities on the page and a Solar System poster included.
