The Question and Answer Book of Space was the perfect book to light up a kid's imagination about space prior to anyone landing on the moon. Good questions. Good answers. Great illustrations. This is what a book with pages is all about.

I had no idea we had this book, I found it in my basement :)

Tomas is usually watched by his sister after school until is mother gets home, but one day his mother is late and late, so his sister leaves him alone so she can get to her job. He's a big boy, right?

This book realistically covers the normal feelings of being scared on your first time alone in the house, and also Tomas' pride in his resourcefulness in having an impromptu party for his teacher when she shows up at his door (to invite his mother to a school meeting, apparently).

A previous reviewer said the characters are African-American. This is possible, however, with the names Tomas and Ana I suspect they may be Hispanic instead. No matter, it's not a crucial plot point.

A modern-day chicken-little story,of the hen who thought someone was eating the sun. A funny and well written book that teaches children about the solar eclipse and the value of not gossiping. This has long been my favorite children's story,and the colorful pictures only make it better.I highly recomend this book for children of all ages and for the young at heart.

As a kid this was my favorite book, today it still remains one of the best kids books ever written.It teaches many good values, while still remaining entertaining. The only disapiontment I have ,is that it is no longer in print.I would like to encourage others, who have read this book, to write in and petition to get this wonderful book back in print for a new generation of children to enjoy.… (mais)
