[This book about space is as well organized and thorough in its treatment of the material as we have come to expect form this series. Additionally, Bill Slavin’s playful illustrations, always welcome anywhere, give a jaunty, insouciant air to the book, nicely lightening its load of information ? Stories or legends about various heavenly bodies, simple experiments ? and a useful glossary add to this book’s usefulness and its enjoyment quotient.
