Superb review of all things space
The pictures are stunning and the content is fun – not overwhelming and easy to read/digest bites of information (1-2 pages on each topic). Highly recommend for any kids (or adults!) who love space!

Excellent book for all ages!!
Love love this book! The pictures are gorgeous and descriptions of complex astronomical phenomena are broken down into understandable descriptions for kids. This is definitely a book that young kids can appreciate (my 4 yo loves the pictures and planets) while older ones can grasp some of the more complex concepts. Highly recommend this book!

great book
Mysteries of the Universe is an absolute gem for young space enthusiasts! This beautifully crafted book takes curious kids aged 6-8 on an awe-inspiring journey through the cosmos, introducing them to over 100 celestial objects—from planets and asteroids to black holes and galaxies. The blend of stunning photography and detailed illustrations makes every page a visual treat, while the engaging, storybook-style descriptions keep young readers hooked.What I love most is how it simplifies complex concepts without losing the wonder of space exploration. My 7-year-old was captivated by the close-up images and fun facts, and it sparked so many questions about the universe. The gold foil and holographic details on the cover make it a standout addition to our bookshelf, and it’s clear this is a book meant to be treasured and passed down.Perfect for family reading or solo exploration, *Mysteries of the Universe* is a fantastic gift for any child who dreams of the stars. It’s not just a book—it’s an invitation to explore the infinite wonders of our universe. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Books, Terrible Packing
This book and the others in the series, are beautiful books. Nice solid hard cover that has an almost canvas like feel to it, the pages are nice and thick, the content is great for kids in elementary and I’d webmaster say middle school grades. A lovely set to add to a homeschool library or a public school student’s collection. My only complaint here, is not the books, but the shipping. A multi-billion collar company like Amazon can’t be bothered to protect the integrity of their shipments, which is really upsetting. The edges of 3 of the books are very bent and crumpled and look very worn, most likely from the very poor packing,which is really sad. They put 5 large books in 1 box with 1 piece of brown paper. So if you’re looking for books in lovely brand new condition, fair warning. If you’re more interested in just the content and appearance makes no difference them, the books themselves get a ☆☆☆☆☆ rating from me. Amazon packaging gets ☆.

A Stellar Review from Two Aspiring Astronauts
My nephews, ages seven and nine, received “The Mysteries of the Universe” as a gift, and it’s safe to say it was a huge hit! They’re both curious about space, but this book has turned that curiosity into a full-blown obsession.The younger one loves the pictures. He’ll spend ages flipping through the pages, pointing out the stunning photos of planets, galaxies, and black holes. The visuals are so captivating that they’ve made a difficult topic like space easy for him to understand. He’s constantly asking me questions, like “Is that what a black hole really looks like?”The nine-year-old, who loves to read, has been absorbed in the book’s details. He was already a bit of a space nerd, but this book has introduced him to all sorts of new facts. He’s especially fascinated by the sections on space exploration and the different types of stars. He’s been spouting off facts about the Voyager spacecraft and the life cycle of stars during dinner, which is pretty amazing to see.Overall, this book is perfect for kids with a thirst for knowledge. It’s a fantastic blend of incredible visuals and fascinating information that keeps them engaged. If you’re looking for a gift that will inspire wonder and maybe even a future astronaut, this is the one!

The artwork on the cover was what grabbed my attention but when I received it in the mail, I really couldn’t believe how beautiful it was, right down to the gold trim on the paper. The content is perfect for my 6 year old with simple and interesting information that is easy to understand. Will be purchasing all related books to have as a collect, they’re gorgeous!
