Series Review: Fun facts are the focus of this engaging series. Each book contains nine double-page spreads that include a “fact file” of two-to-five facts on a particular topic, one or two “mini fact” text boxes, and descriptive captions of all the full-color photographs and illustrations. The broad, somewhat surface-level information covered is full of interesting trivia that can get readers excited about astronomy, and could also be a useful resource for reports. There is a missed opportunity as the series’ “space detective” theme is never named in the text; it is only mentioned in the preface to the four-question quiz in the back matter. Useful words, a “find out more” section, and an index are included. –VERDICT A fun addition to update science shelves.
