Out of this World! Children’s Books about SPACE!
As parents, we want our children to know they are capable of achieving great things in life, if they are willing to work hard. These children’s books about space will leave them “reaching for the stars!”
Whether we’re at the Armstrong Air and Space Museum, the Kennedy Space Center, stargazing atop Haleakala, or in our own living room… we can’t seem to get enough of the universe. There is something simply mind-blowing about seeing an actual moon rock, the Saturn V rocket, or a spacecraft that has orbited the earth! The scientific advancements and discoveries are always changing and there is SO much to learn.

We’ve put together a list of our favorite children’s books about space! There is even a BONUS section filled with games and hands-on activities to help your child explore the great unknown. No roaming the aisles, searching for books about space; we took the guess work out of it for you! We’ve broken down our list by category to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.
Perhaps, these resources will take your family on a journey to “infinity and beyond!”

A fabulous selection of space books!! January is the perfect time to learn about space, as the nights are longer and we can get more time to do some skywatching!
Charlene
Thank you and such a good point about sky watching in January. The cold, clear, winter nights sure do create beautiful opportunities to admire the sky.
