Jessica at Cracking the Cover

Great for budding scientists/astronauts

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my budding scientist/astronaut. She saw it on my bookshelf and immediately absconded with it. The book is divided into short chapters with easily read and digestible facts. It's a perfect confidence builder for newer independent readers. A glossary, index and guide for parents are also included.
