Summary

Scholastic First Encyclopedia: All About Space covers all the basic questions a young child may have about the solar system and space travel. This book begins by guiding children to each of the planets in the solar system with the help of photographs, illustrations, and easy-to-understand text. Comets, asteroids, and meteors are also discussed. Next, children will learn about the different people that study outer space. Not only will kids find out who these people are, but they will also learn about the different techniques and tools they use to practice their trades. The final section of the book is devoted to space travel. Here, kids get an introduction to what it takes to send astronauts into space and what goes on once they are out there.
