As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com, 'These three beautifully designed books will introduce kids to life underwater, the galaxies above, and their own world here on earth'.
A stunning addition to the bestselling Our World Collection, this colorful, creative picture book transforms into a freestanding globe.
Explore our galactic home with this charming read-aloud introduction to astronomy. Beautifully illustrated and cleverly designed, Our Galaxy opens and folds back into a sturdy circular globe fastened by a hidden magnetic closure.
Rhyming verse and lush illustrations teach young children about astronomical objects - from the planets in our solar neighborhood to faraway stars in the Milky Way. Secondary text offers more detailed, curriculum-focused facts and encourages children to learn about rockets, rovers, and other space technologies.
Inspiring, informative, and one-of-a-kind, this artful homage to outer space is both an invitation to explore the night sky and an object to be treasured for years to come.
Ages 2-6
