Closer to the Stars: The Best Children's Space Books

For the most curious young explorers and intrepid travelers ready to go on a space odyssey and conquer new spaces and worlds, the Bibliogide website has selected 11 best books about space. Training for an astronaut, a cat-astronomer, a guide to the Universe and "horror" stories about black holes - all the most interesting and exciting about the wonderful world of distant stars awaits you!

Originally called Astronaut in Training, this book is really structured as a training course with both theoretical and practical tasks, and it's all a fun game . We are told about everything that an astronaut should know - from English (the official language of the ISS) and the laws of physics - to the structure of the solar system and the history of space exploration. Thanks to a small amount of text, simple language, visual illustrations, and, most importantly, extremely interesting information, even a child who has recently learned to read will be able to graduate from the Space Academy on their own or with the help of their parents. nine0007

Recommended age: 6-9 years old

Lucky Cat loves to look at the stars. He knows almost everything about them and is ready to become your guide through the starry sky. How and where is it right to observe the stars? How are stars different from planets? Who named the constellations and when? What is asterism? How does the starry sky change in different seasons? Why are the stars falling? When you look at the starry sky, a thousand questions arise. When you open this book, you will find answers to some of them. But, of course, not all, because the starry sky is full of secrets and mysteries, and it is waiting for new astronomers who will surprise the world with their discoveries. nine0007

Recommended age: 6–10 years old

After this book, many boys and even girls will surely want to become astronauts. And it is possible that one of them will finally make a historic flight to Mars. But all the deadlines have long passed! If you remember, Ray Bradbury began the exploration of the red planet in 1999, but due to the slowness and sluggishness of mankind, the writer had to shift the date 30 years ahead. Let's hope that this richly illustrated book, written in a very sensible and exciting way, will at least partially correct the current situation. nine0007

Recommended age: 10 - 15 years old

Olivia Koski, Jana Grsevich. A space tourist guide to the solar system: a scientific approach to choosing the best route

You can spend your holidays lying on the beach or in a hammock in the country. The authors of this book offer more interesting vacations - go on an interplanetary journey, ski on the sands of Mercury, admire the giant canyons of Mars, skydive on Saturn ... You will find many amazing space tours in a guide to the solar system. Of course, this is not possible today and not tomorrow, but it is possible! nine0007

Recommended age: 9-15 years old

Cosmos is a picture book. Collages for "Cosmos" are unusual in that they are all made by hand, they use a huge amount of authentic material: chevrons from space suits, photographs from near-Earth orbit taken by cosmonaut, Hero of Russia Oleg Kotov. Vertical and horizontal turns alternate - this allows you to better convey the dynamics of the launch or show the rocket assembly process in detail. In general, it turned out to be a kind of mini-encyclopedia, interesting, unexpected and quite informative, despite only 75 pages. nine0007

Recommended age: 8 – 12 years old

The main character of this scientific fairy tale is a boy Seryozhka, who once made friends... with the Sun. And then with other heavenly inhabitants. Following Seryozha, readers of this book will get acquainted with the planets of the solar system, with the most famous constellations, learn a lot about the size of our Galaxy, about whether it is the only one in the Universe... scare and always surprise - just like the starry sky above us! nine0007

Recommended age: 6-8 years old

Efrem Levitan. Black holes. Space Horrors

Another book by the famous popularizer of astronomy, teacher and writer Ephraim Levitan tells about the most mysterious and dangerous phenomenon in our universe - black holes. Scientists do not know much about them, so not only children, but also adults will learn a lot of new information from this story. You will learn about wormholes and magical tunnels in space, supernova explosions and possible time travel. nine0007

Recommended age: 8-13 years old

It would seem that you can tell children about the solar system? List the most famous planets and name the Earth's satellite the Moon? But science is developing and the study of space is ongoing. So people's understanding of the solar system at the beginning of the 21st century has expanded significantly. Space poems of the poet, writer and young father of two sons Lev Oborin are accompanied by the latest scientific facts. Illustrator Eya Mordyakova came up with a cute character who makes an exciting journey, moving further and further away from the Sun with each page. nine0007

Recommended age: 5–10 years old

Do you know why the future cosmonaut number one stayed in the first class for the second year? And how did he dine on potatoes and cutlets in zero gravity and have tea with the British queen? Open this book and Yuri Gagarin himself will tell you the story of his life. From the age of 15, he began to master the craft of a foundry worker, went in for sports and, with a height of 1 m 57 cm, led the basketball team to the champions of the city. And then the passion for space began: skydiving, flight school, Star City and the first flight around the Earth. nine0007

Recommended age: 7-11 years old

The book invites readers on a tour of the amazing museum: they will have an exciting journey through the solar system and the Milky Way to the most distant galaxies. Flipping through the pages, the children will get acquainted with the history of astronomy and the tools with which you can observe celestial bodies, with the planets that make up the solar system, with dwarf planets and exoplanets. They will be able to look inside the most mysterious object in the Universe - a black hole, admire the famous constellations of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and find out what types of galaxies are. They are waiting for stories about how stars are born and die, and many more amazing secrets and wonders of the incomprehensible cosmos. nine0007

Recommended age: 11–16 years old

And that there were much more dogs than two? And that they were all mongrels and repeatedly changed their official names? You are waiting for fascinating details about the early pages of the history of space exploration.
