CAN'T GET ENOUGH SPACE STUFF is a delightful non-fiction read with all sorts of fun facts, photographs, and activities about space. The book is written almost like a magazine with short articles, jokes, quizzes, games, and more. There is so much to learn about space, planets, galaxies, and nebulas that even space fans will find something new to explore!

What I loved: This is such an approachable book that contains such a wealth of information. The book uses images from telescopes and space probes as well as illustrations to really bring space to life. The stunning images are in full color, with great use of size, color, and text to really bring all the facts to life. The articles are written in a really approachable manner with plenty to learn about planets in and outside of our solar system. Although I have read a lot of space books as the parent of a space fan, we both learned a lot of new things about space through this book.

The magazine style was really fun, and makes this an easy book to browse, pick up and put down, and explore however kids like. The activities are really clever as well. For instance, there's a quiz to determine whether you are more earthling or alien (just for fun obviously), plenty of clever jokes, and even some mental benders, such as the mental puzzle of matching aliens with their spaceships. The answer keys are easy to find for children who want to confirm their answers. They are all easy to read and will be fun to share with friends and family.

Final verdict: A delightfully educational book, CAN'T GET ENOUGH SPACE STUFF features stunning illustrations, fun activities, and informative articles to teach readers something new about space!
