The Universe was formed billions of years ago and is so huge it’s almost impossible to imagine just how big it really is. With this space encyclopaedia see how it was formed, what lies in the future, and wonder on the existence of alien life forms. Did you know…it hasn’t rained on Mars for three billion years!
I highly recommend this book for a homeschooling family or just for any parent with kids who want to learn about our Solar System, our galaxy and beyond. The publishers recommended age level is 9 – 12 years old, but children as young as 5 will be fascinated and enjoy exploring the book with an adult. It’s full of just the sort of information inquisitive youngsters want to know, presented in a way that’s both educational and entertaining. There is a full range of DK Encyclopaedias covering topics of the Human Body, Nature, Dinosaurs, Science and Animals as well as an Atlas, Dictionary and General Encyclopaedia. All school libraries should have a set of these excellent quality reference titles from DK.
