Review: Chock full of space photos and facts - This book is full of beautiful colourful photos and lots of interesting space facts. Would be great for both kid and adult space nerds. A great collector item or coffee table book, I pour over it often. Super happy with Smithsonian books! Review: GREAT BOOK BUT BAD PACKAGING! - This book is great to start teaching my kids about space. The images inside or gorgeous and ignites interest in the reader/viewer(s) of the book. It did come with a dented hardcover because it was placed in a large box without any kind of protection, but I domt want to take away starts from the book because that's a packaging issue that either the seller or desertcart needs to address. I did see in other reviews that everyone's experienced the same. So please seller/desertcart do better on fitting this book in an appropriate package.

Beautiful photos and excellent content
My kids is three and loves going through the pages as we read to him. The quality of each pages are beautiful. The font size is large enough and the languages are simple enough (not difficult to read) for younger audience. The content are excellent because shares many facts and details about each planet that it will take some time for kids to learn our solar system. I purchase one with softcover so my little one can carry it with him all the time. Excellent book for kids who likes to learn more about each planet in the solar system and enjoy look at photos instead of illustrations.
