Reviews for The New York Public Library Amazing Space: A Book of Answers for Kids
Campbell (with Ronald Rood, The New York Public Library Incredible Earth, 1996) pens a creative and exciting introduction to almost everything readers dreamed of knowing about space. Following the format established in the first book, this is a collection of the most commonly asked questions at the New York Public Library about the basics of astronomy and their answers. Clever black-and-white drawings throughout turn highly complex topics into simple and understandable information. Campbell organizes the multitude of questions into accessible chapters: All About Astronomy, Looking at Celestial Objects, The Universe and Its Galaxies, etc., ending with Space Exploration. A must-have for browsers interested in the final frontier, and an excellent resource for instigating specific research. (Kirkus Reviews)
