Product Description

Product Description

Amy Sklansky and Stacey Schuett give young explorers the moon and stars and beyond!

The mysteries of the universe and the science of space exploration are perennialy popular subjects, and Out of This World is a wonderful introduction. Amy Sklansky has written evocative poems about planets and stars and rockets and moon landings and satellites. Each poem is supported by additional facts and explanations in the margins. Stacey Schuett brings it all to life with color-soaked skies and beautiful perspectives in her fabulous paintings. 

Space is a subject too grand for poetry or prose alone, so this book offers both to help readers truly appreciate our place in space.

Thumbs up for Sklansky 16 Feb 2012
By Gail Edgar - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Loved the factual, informative side of the book combined with the poetry. Can't wait for the reaction from the children! Also thought it was well illustrated.

Wonderful addition to solar system unit 22 Feb 2012
By Nicole D. Morin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
As a teacher this book is an extraordinary companion to our solar system unit. The teaming of poetry with relevant facts has lent itself to a rich interdisciplinary unit. Highly recommended!

Fun and Factual 17 Feb 2012
By Jill A Allen - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Review by my 14 year old son:

I thought this book was extremely informative about some of the facts about space. Each fact had an accompanying poem which was really neat. My favorite poem was "Weightless Wonder" about zero gravity in space. I am 14 years old and even though this book is meant for kids, I enjoyed reading it. The illustrations were cool, especially the space suit one. I plan to read this book to my younger brother and I'm sure he will like it, too. -Duncan N. Allen
