Children's Literature -
Join astronomer Izzy Surespark and rocket buff Norbert Crane in a search for intelligent life in space. While the actual travel by Izzy and Norbert is an amusing fantasy as are their exploits, the information about the solar system and space is factual. This is a book with multiple paths. Kids can read the comic strip adventure story of the two space explorers or they can concentrate on the factual information about the stars, planets, solar system and universe. There is also a challenge--a series of black and white photographs to be identified (answers are at the end of the book). Fact boxes appear on nearly every page, and reading the book first will enable kids to get the correct answers. There is an index. 1999, DK Publishing, Ages 6 up, $14.95.
