Book Review: The Know-Nonsense Guide to Space: An Awesomely Fun Guide to the Universe by Heidi Fielder, Brendan Kearney

The Know-Nonsense Guide to Space: An Awesomely Fun Guide to the Universe is a non fiction book written by Heidi Fielder and illustrated by Brendan Kearney. This book can help middle grade and younger readers learn about the different planets in our solar system, all the way from Mercury to Neptune (and even dwarf planet Pluto!). Then reach out further and discover about the Milky Way Galaxy and other neighboring galaxies (and what is in them). On the journey through space, readers can learn about different terms like asteroid belt, nebula, supernova, and even mysterious black holes!

The Know-Nonsense Guide to Space: An Awesomely Fun Guide to the Universe is full of easy to understand text and entertaining illustrations that can capture an keep the attention of readers. The information is well organized, with important information and interesting facts on every page. I like that important and new terms are in bold, letting readers know that they are words that they will want to learn and remember if they do not already understand them. I think this will be a hit with young readers that are interested in outer space and how the universe, and the technology we use to explore it work. I do wish there was an index and glossary at the end of the book.

The Know-Nonsense Guide to Space is a fun and interesting introduction to space for young readers. It is part of a larger Know-Nonsense series of non fiction books for young readers. It has entertaining illustrations and good information, but I was hoping for a little more.
