Book Reviews of The Best Book of Spaceships (The Best Book of)

Book Review: Great book, but just a shortened version of "My Book of Space"
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is wonderful. The illustrations are colorful and captions are interesting. It is sure to capture the attention of any child interested in space. It's laid out in a manner that holds the interest of my five year old, with a new topic being covered on each two-page spread. However, it includes enough technical information to keep my son interested for years to come.

The book covers how rockets, probes, satellites, and space shuttles work and what each is used for. It also details spaceships from the past, as well as modern ones.

In addition to covering spaceships, the book has sections on space suits, working in space, and space stations.

The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is that it's simply a shortened version of the book, "My Book of Space (My Book of)" (which I unfortunately already owned when I purchased this book), written by the same author. Every page in "The Best Book of Spaceships" is included in "My Book of Space", but there are additional topics covered in the latter. So, I would recommend purchasing "My Book of Space (My Book of)" instead, especially considering they are priced very similarly. If you do decide to buy this book, just be sure not to buy "My Book of Space" down the road.
