This review is from: UFO'S (Random House All-About Books) (Hardcover)

This is a serious look at UFOs for children, who will be understandably excited (and possibly freaked out) by the possibility of visitors from other worlds.

The pages are mostly wall-to-wall illustrations with text boxes which walk readers through several basic UFO topics, including Project Blue Book and the difference between a close encounter of the first, second, and third kinds.

Despite the fact that it obviously is geared towards believers, the book remains somewhat objective in that it states repeatedly that the truth about UFOs is simply not known.

If you have a child who has expressed interest in the subject, this is a good way to indulge that interest in a healthy manner. Rather than focus on the sensationalistic and creepy details of some supposed alien encounters, this book lays out UFOlogy in a fairly scientific manner.
