Floating in Space (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2)

We did a space theme with our almost 4 year old, and this was one of the great books we found. If you like Brian Floca's Moonshot, I'd guess this one will be a hit too.We enjoyed the detailed information on eating, living, and working in space. There's also a section on repairing the Hubble Space Telescope.Other great ones are Brian Floca's Moonshot and Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System.

We are huge fans of the "Let's Read and Find Out Science" series, and were very excited to stumble upon this one. Franklyn Branley is one of our favorite LRFOS authors. This book does not disappoint. Astronomy was his life, and it shines through in this book. We also love the related LRFOS series books he wrote: Mission to Mars, What the Moon is Like, and The International Space Station. (great collection, and a great deal, especially if Amazon runs the 4-for-3 special)

My 3 1/2 year old son is going to be an astronaut for Halloween, in part because of this book! :) This book launched his fascination with space 3 months ago, and his interest is growing stronger still. He can't get enough about it!

My first graders were enthralled by this text, which is kind of surprising since the are no photos, really. Good intro and inviting to discuss the moon.

I was very disappointed by this book. We generally love the series. The text says multiple times that astronauts float in space because gravity is very weak. It's the wrong explanation and creates a deep misconception when kids are ready to dive in deeper to the subject.

I got these books for my 6 year old grandson he's loves any space he stated reading them right away

Love these books! Purchased a gift for a five year old.

Educational book, my 3 year old finds it entertaining.

Bought for topic.

great easy explanations for my 6 &9 year olds with current space interest with Tim Peak!

Really suitable for the age group - very clear explanations and great illustrations.
