 Great book, but just a shortened version of "My Book of Space" May 4, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
This book is wonderful. The illustrations are colorful and captions are interesting. It is sure to capture the attention of any child interested in space. It's laid out in a manner that holds the interest of my five year old, with a new topic being covered on each two-page spread. However, it includes enough technical information to keep my son interested for years to come.br /br /The book covers how rockets, probes, satellites, and space shuttles work and what each is used for. It also details spaceships from the past, as well as modern ones. br /br /In addition to covering spaceships, the book has sections on space suits, working in space, and space stations.br /br /The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is that it's simply a shortened version of the book, "My Book of Space (My Book of)" (which I unfortunately already owned when I purchased this book), written by the same author. Every page in "The Best Book of Spaceships" is included in "My Book of Space", but there are additional topics covered in the latter. So, I would recommend purchasing "My Book of Space (My Book of)" instead, especially considering they are priced very similarly. If you do decide to buy this book, just be sure not to buy "My Book of Space" down the road.
 ONE TO BYPASS THE LIBRARY FOR January 9, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have a 3 1/2 year old Son who has watch the last 2 space shuttles take off. In searching my library system, I discovered this book. After checking it out serveral times, I decided to just buy the book because I'm tired of renewing the check-out and waiting for it to come back to the library. It's kind of fun watching his imagination with spaceships take off from this book (Everything that is not a spaceship or a rocket is now a spaceship or a rocket). I have seen other books in the library on space, but nothing with images that caputre the attention of my son. Everytime I come home with this book, his eyes light up and he starts flipping though the pages.

I picked this book out from the huge selection of children's books at the National Air Space Museum. It has some informative text and lots of attractive pictures. One especially nice thing is that it doesn't just show what spaceships look like but how they work. For example, it shows (better than some other books I've seen) the steps in a shuttle launch or a trip to the moon (it helped me explain to the kids where the lunar module is in the Saturn V, and how the astronauts got into it), and even an astronaut putting on her space suit. For the 4-7 crowd, it's great.
