Why Why Why Do Astronauts Float in Space?

Children's Literature - Carrie Hane Hung

"Why does the moon change its shape? What is the Milky Way? Why is Mars red?" These are just a few of the queries that are answered. The questions are listed in the table of contents. The organization of the questions is not labeled with headings which would assist those students looking for information on a particular topic about space. There are illustrations and cartoons-like pictures found throughout the book. The insets have some additional information along with some activities and points to ponder. At the back of the book is a quiz with answers and references to pages in the main text. The index may be helpful for those young researchers looking for more specific information; for richer information, researchers will need to refer to additional resources. Those readers who are interested in just learning some facts about space may need guidance in navigating the layout of the text. Readers just curious about different subjects in science or history may find different topics in the "Why Why Why" series that suit their interests. Reviewer: Carrie Hane Hung
