Astronomy: Out of This World!
Like a Facebook for the universe, Astronomy gives every important celestial body and concept its own page, where readers can learn its behaviors, likes, and dislikes up close and personal. From the fl...ashy stars to the shadowy and strange objects that hang out like loners at the edges of the universe, no player goes unnoticed. Every profile has a hip anime-style portrait to round out the picture, but make no mistake: while the presentation is all style, the science is rock solid. The book includes a super cute poster of the solar system in the back. The universe has never been so cool.VOYAGreen's book on astronomy seems at first glance more like a Japanese-inspired comic book than a reference book, but its appearance is one of the reasons that it will make a great addition to any library. Color coding and icons guide readers through each chapter. The illustrations are bright and bold, adorning nearly every page. In addition to the great use of color, the illustrations are unique and interesting, featuring characters that will make readers smile. Overall the book is eye catching and vibrant, enabling it to hold the attention of readers at nearly every age level. The text is written in a modern tone that is both playful and educational. Each topic features bulleted items as well as a few conversationally written paragraphs that educate and entertain. With all its glitz, it is important to remember that the book is a reference work, but it does a good job in a package that is both visually appealing and engaging while still communicating information. The only fault might lie in the fact that the entire book is an exercise in personification, both in the drawings and text, as each object studied is a character and the content is often shared from its point of view using first-person narratives. This small infraction can be overlooked, however, because of the selection's ability to give readers that feeling of not wanting to put the book down, a rare treat in nonfiction.
