Best Books on Space
& the Planets for Kids
Young children are curious about the sun and the moon, but beyond those visible bodies, it gets harder. Adults have a hard time wrapping their heads around those planets way out there in the solar system, so imagine how much more challenging it is for young children given their concrete way of seeing the world around them.
Children's books are great for overcoming this significant challenge! The list below of space books for kids includes links to buy the books on
Amazon. Or, to save 50% or more on math children's books, check out our
