Review: My son (5) came home and told me he wanted to go to space so I found this gem of a book which he reads nightly. A lovely way to enhance his vocabularly whilst also learning about something he would like to do. Beautifully presented and excellent quality. Highly recommend.

Review: I liked the book, and so do my kids. But apparently, only America has Astronauts. Only America sent probes into Space, only America has space stations, and only America has explored the solar system, and nobody else ever sent any satellites or rovers outside Earth except USA. Or maybe others did, and this book just prefers to not acknowledge that. There is no mention of ESA, Roscosmos, CNSA (Chinese space agency, who sent probes to the moon) the Russian probes to Venus or Lunokhod, the ESA probes etc. There are literally American flags on several pages. I thought Space was about exploration, about nations coming together to explore and to discover, about international discoveries and science, but apparently, America did it all by themselves and nobody else could possibly have sent say a probe to Venus (which the USA has never done), and nobody else has explored anything. The spelling is entirely American too, despite me purchasing this book from Amazon UK. I mean I expected the US spelling from National Geographic, which is a US publication, but I did not expect that they would completely ignore all efforts by the rest of the world and only talk about what NASA has done. Quite disappointed in that respect. Again, Science and space exploration are an international collaborative effort, ISS doesn't only carry US astronauts and was built as much by Russia as it was the USA, but this book is 100% flag waving for the USA and ignores anything any other country did, and that disappoints me. One might even go so far as to call this propaganda. However, my kids and I did like the book. It's colourful, easy to understand, and to the point. It was fun for them to learn about the planets. But my children are half Russian, they know full well that Russia sent probes to Venus, sent robots to the moon...but it isn't mentioned in this book at all, only America. The explanations of the planets, the solar system, the composition of the planets is good. I don't regret purchasing it .. It's just a shame it's 100% USA focused and ignores any discovery that America didn't do. There are many pictures that include astronauts, rockets, probes etc that all feature the stars and stripes but not one mention of Russia/Roscosmos/JAXA/ESA etc. This would be a great book for anyone who's children want to learn about space, and the planets and the solar system. But it completely ignores any space effort by anyone but the USA.
