Welcome to Eurekaville: The Outer Space Place

My son is almost 5 years old and loves this book. The actual story is quite a bit longer than most other books he owns, (29 pages with about 1 paragraph on over half of those as well as some side facts) but he doesn't seem to notice... and neither do I. We read it at least 3 times a week. The illustrations engage him, the story line keeps him listening/interacting with me, and he's learned a lot of interesting facts about outer space. For instance: he knows what Earth and Saturn look like, we need space suits to walk around, one side of Mercury is burning hot while the other is freezing cold, Mars is red because of rust, a little about comets, and so on. It's not a book to buy if you want your child to learn a lot of details, but it's perfect if you'd like to introduce them to Space. It's been a very enjoyable book for the both of us and I'm especially pleased that it's made him want to learn more about outer space.
