The Story of Space: A first book about our universe

Publisher: Frances Lincoln

Before the Big Bang, nothing existed. Then, suddenly, the story of our universe began with a scalding hot speck, pushed outwards by dark energy. Planets and asteroids hurtled around suns, and the earth was formed, made of molten lava. Over millions of years it cooled, and the seas produced life. Eventually, humans started exploring space; perhaps we might find life elsewhere in the galaxy!

This bright and engagingly illustrated space book includes just the right level of fact and information for younger readers. There aren't so many space books for 4-7s, so this one makes a welcome resource for Key Stage 1 children fascinated by planets, galaxies and stars.
