Space Maps: Your Tour of the Universe

Space Maps: Your Tour of the Universe by Lara Albanese is a picture book about space, universe, planets, and history of space explorations. The book is full of interesting facts, short information paragraphs, and lots of pictures. It is a large book with excellent illustrations. The lunar exploration page was my favorite. I also learned about Ceres being a dwarf planet (which I did not know). Did you know that if Betelgeuse turned into a supernova, we would see the explosion six hundred years later? This book is very well done with just enough information to keep your attention but includes everything you want to know about, from constellations to planets to moon phases to deep space. Anyone who is interested in space would enjoy this book, especially kids. I loved reading this book because of the pictures and new facts I learned about space!
