Exploring Space: From Galileo to the Mars Rover and BeyondLaunch into a truly out of this world examination of the past, present, and future of humans in space. For centuries, humans have looked up at the night sky and wondered what it's like deep in space, far from Earth and now we've begun to find out.

Launch into a truly out-of-this-world examination of the past, present, and future of humans in space. For centuries, humans have looked up at the night sky and wondered what it's like deep in space, far from Earth -- and now we've begun to find out. We've landed on the moon, put robots on Mars, and sent space probes billions of miles to explore the far reaches of our solar system. Told in richly detailed cutaway illustrations by Stephen Biesty and friendly, engaging writing by Martin Jenkins, here is the enthralling story of how we made the great leap into space and what we've discovered there. Find out what life is like on the International Space Station, what the chances are that we will ever settle on Mars, where in the solar system we might find alien life, and why visiting other stars will almost certainly remain a dream. Budding astronomers, junior astronauts, and anyone who has ever gazed up at the stars in fascination will pore over this beautifully intricate yet accessible glimpse of the infinite wonders of space.Binding Type: Hardcover

Sweet Simple Book
Format: Board book
I gave this to parents who are going to start reading to their baby before she is born. It's great for that and for early readers. The illustrations are very nice. I'm pleased with the book.

Bought this as a surprise for my husband, it was not a disappointment.
This is one of the most touchingly sweet books I've ever seen and allows the reader (Dad), to reaffirm his bond and his love every night at bedtime (or anytime really) in a way that not only educates the child, entertains the child, but forms lasting memories for the child. It's the perfect pre-bedtime story, and its great with my 6 month old already. I waited until my husband arrived home from work to make sure he agreed with my assessment, and he actually used the word perfect when describing it. My husband is not an overly emotional man so that says a lot. I even suggested to my husband that we keep this book in very good condition, and when our son has a little one, pass it on to him. It's that amazing!

Repeated page, overall great and simple
I really like the simplicity of this book, we bought it for my 9 month old and she loves it! There is only one picture on each page and it is a very simple book so it's great for younger babies. My only issue is that I had a repeated page in my book, but it must have been a misprint since I haven't seen anyone else say they had a repeated page.

Great father's day gift
I bought it for my husband for father's daypl0k from our two years old son.
Sweet and simple book for a father to read to with his baby or toddler.
Each page has a different daddy and baby animal with a simple and short phrase and cute pictures.
My son picks this one out to be read to him from his dad as part of his regular rotation.
I highly recommend
