4.0 out of 5 stars Great book but just like Big Book of Space Ships, March 7, 2002

By	"henrywirz" (Wausau, WI USA) - See all my reviews

I was quite disappointed that this book contained much identical material already covered in The Big book of Space Ships

That being said this is a really good book. The illustrations are compelling and informative. And it covers more material than the Big Book of Space Ships.

If you don't already have the Big Book of Space Ships then buy this book!

By	Mellowman (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews

My 8 year old son is space crazy. He lives and breathes space and planets. We got this book for him as a suprise and he loves it.
