This is a cute, yet informative book about the solar system, and beyond. The pictures look as though it would be a silly book, but the information provided is top notch, very well written, and informative.
Excellent book to introduce kids to astronomy. Each planet, each concept is a single page, followed by a picture. Highly recommend it for libraries and classrooms.

I absolutely LOVED this book! I was hooked from the first page - and forget about sharing it with the kids! They are going to flip when they read it. From planets to stars, to the galaxy, there are so many fascinating pieces of information, and so much to learn!
I look forward to sitting down and reading this again with my kids. I even learned a few things about our galaxy that I did not know. How amazing is that?

A perfect book for any space-loving kid! Lots of information about the planets, solar systems, galaxies, black holes, space technology, etc....Very colorful and engaging illustrations (some are a little silly) but this is well written and accessible to children.
Thank you NetGalley and Walter Foster Jr for an advanced copy of this book.

A fun (but incredibly informative!) guide to space for inquisitive kids. Quirky illustrations break up large blocks of text and make them less intimidating. I learned a few things., myself. Ordering a copy for the library.

"The Know-Nonsense Guide To Space" makes learning fun! It teaches you all about the different planets in our solar system as well as the Milky Way and our neighbouring galaxies. It introduces you to terms such as nebula, supernova, and asteroid belts, you even learn about those mysterious black holes!
This book makes what can be a tedious topic interesting for children. It is accessible and fun and will keep your child's attention focused on the topic at hand. The illustrations are attractive, fit well with the information provided and are both quirky and funny in equal measure. There is plenty here for young ones to engage with.
Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster, Jr. for an ARC. I was not required to post a review and all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

This was a great “get to know space” guide. The information was kept brief, but reachable, fulfilling, and included many things most space books for this age do not. My only real problem with the book is no real pictures. Everything is illustrations. They are wacky and fun, but unlike other books in this series, real pictures are an advantage. When talking weights and measures, real pictures are not as important, as they are talking about comets and black holes.
