This is a great buy for the pre-teen with a brimming curiosity. Comphrehensive and straightforward it made me want to do some traveling of my own! I especially liked how the information is presented in an easy to read-easy to grasp style for kids, yet doesn't condescend. I plan on giving this to my nephew in the hopes that some of his neverending questions about the universe will be answered!

I am giving this book to my grandson for Christmas. I received it shortly after ordering. It is in excellent condition, looks brand new. I would purchase from this seller again and would recommend this seller to others.

------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very nice mid-level children's book introducing the basics of the universe, its formation and structure, and our relationship to the worlds and galaxies around us. It is visually appealing, with a large, oversize format that lends itself to a sense of wonder and a strong graphic design that, while it could be better still doesn't have the rigidity and sterility of, say, stuff by DK Press. Once we found this at the library, I knew we would have to get a copy to have at home as well. Recommended! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)

This is a great book for studying (and teaching) about the solar system and the stars. My 9 year old read this every night until the day we had to return it to the library. I bought it right away after that. Amazing photographs - very attention getting. Great for all ages.

This book is beautifully illustrated and presented. Intended for my 4-yr-old, even my 2-yr-old now knows the names of most of the planets and understands their orientation. I would recommend this book to any and every parent.

The Atlas arrived in good condition and in a timely fashion. I was especially pleased because I was unable to find it in our two local bookstores. This is the second time I have ordered and received a book from a "secondary" source listed under Amazon.
