Recenzii
A humorous, jokey tone is mixed in with solid, informational material. Each chapter begins with three statements based on the content of that section, and they seem like the sort you might expect from some space-themed version of The Dating Game. . . . The authors did a nice job researching this material and the astronomy is up to date. Some of the trivia is fascinating, such as the early names for some of the dwarf planets, and the relationship between dung beetle poop rolling and the stars.,Francine Jackson,Children's Literature, 12/1/17
The visually appealing layout and clever writing will appeal to readers . . . This funny yet informative title would be a useful addition to any collection serving space enthusiasts.,Maren Ostergard,School Library Journal, 1/3/18
This is a really great book that explores many unusual and amazing things that make up the solar system and outer space. I think kids of all ages and even adults who are interested in space will find this a good book to read.,Antonio ,Kids' BookBuzz, 3/1/18
