Space themed books

[Withgraceinmyheart]

Hi :) can anyone recommend a good space book for a nearly 4 year old? I'm thinking non-fiction mainly, but open to good space stories too!

Thanks :)

This Look inside Space book is good.

These story books are good, my ds loves them they are about Bob and he looks after the Moon, and the mishaps he has.

For non fiction, I think Usborne is normally the go to. I can't recommend a particular book, but I am confident that they will have one!
For fiction, how about The Dinosaur That Pooped A Planet? Or Henrietta Branford's Space Baby (probably aimed at 6/7 year olds). Also Steve Cole's Astrosaurs' series - enjoyable read, but you probably won't learn much about space!

The Darkest Dark
Goodnight Spaceman
What's Out There?
First Fabulous Facts about Space

I can truly recommend this book: Children of the Sun by Arthur John L'Hommedieu

Our children in the nursery LOVED it! It has hard covers and hard pages. Ideal for little children but it is also cool for older ones as you can open it and see the planets in a “tunnel”.

You can find this book in three different sizes. We had the little and medium-sized one, but if you can find and buy the huge one ;) that would give your child an even more fantastic experience.

Space Tortoise (while not actually about Space)is lovely - about a tortoise who sets out on a journey to find other animals which he believes are in the stars.

The usborne Space lift the flap book is very popular here.

The way back home - Oliver Jeffers
How to catch a star - Oliver Jeffers

Thanks everyone!

A good fiction one is we're off to look for aliens.
