THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY AMAZING SPACE: A Book of Answers for Kids

by Ann-Jeanette Campbell ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 11, 1997

Campbell (with Ronald Rood, The New York Public Library Incredible Earth, 1996) pens a creative and exciting introduction to almost everything readers dreamed of knowing about space. Following the format established in the first book, this is a collection of the most commonly asked questions at the New York Public Library about the basics of astronomy and their answers. Clever black-and-white drawings throughout turn highly complex topics into simple and understandable information. Campbell organizes the multitude of questions into accessible chapters: ""All About Astronomy,"" ""Looking at Celestial Objects,"" ""The Universe and Its Galaxies,"" etc., ending with ""Space Exploration."" A must-have for browsers interested in the ""final frontier,"" and an excellent resource for instigating specific research.
