Space-tacular! (2) (Science with Stuff) Hardcover – Illustrated, May 1, 2012

My grandson is becoming very interested in science and was so excited to get this new book -- He immediately sat down and started reading it. Very informative and a good read for an 8 year old.

I am extremely serious about introducing my children to STEM topics during homeschool lessons, especially my daughter because of the current lack of women in STEM fields. Both she and my son are quite interested in science at the moment, and I want to foster that interest as much as possible. When recently offered the chance to review copies of Insect-o-mania!, Space-tacular!, Fossil-icious, and Bird-acious of the Science with Stuff series in exchange for my honest opinion, I eagerly accepted the opportunity to the science books and materials in my home library.Science with Stuff books bring science to life with a real natural treasure that deepens interest and understanding. Each book currently costs $11.99. All four are also available on Amazon with free shipping through Prime and occasionally on sale at a lower price. Each hardback book contains 48 pages of full-color photographs and information for children ages 6 and older in first grade and up. Science with Stuff books also come with a hands-on item to explore.Book 2 of the Science with Stuff series, Space-tacular! written by Allyson Kulavis is a must-have non-fiction read for young learners who are passionate about space. Packed with great pictures that offer a wealth of information in a completely enjoyable way and super-cool factoids, the book also comes with a blister pack of space rocks. The durable hardback book with glossy pages is the perfect gift for the astro-curious.My daughter and I just began a science unit on the solar system, so Space-tacular! is the perfect addition to our lessons. Although recommended for first grade and up, my four-year-old kindergartener can already read quite a bit of the text. I have been reading many of the factoids aloud as she and I study stars, planets, and more. She also loves looking at the full-color pictures of the universe. My toddler son also enjoys looking at all the amazing photographs. Both my kiddos also love the space rocks that come with the book. I plan on continuing to use Space-tacular! during many homeschool science lessons to come!I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. Receiving a promotional product in no way influenced my opinion. All opinions are my own.
