review:
'Glow in the Dark: Voyage through Space' by Katy Flint with illustrations by Cornelia Li seemed at first to be the sort of gimicky kids book I would always see at bookstores, but I was pleasantly surprised by the content and illustrations.

This book is a trip through our solar system from the Sun to the Kuiper belt. Traveling with us are young astronaut and her dog. Part of the fun is finding them on each page. Also fun are the facts about the objects we see along the way. We learn about the temperature and size and the kinds of explorations that have been made.

Each object gets two pages, so that leaves plenty of room for the beautiful illustrations. They are colorful and full of motion. Nothing feels static in this book, and that helps bring the feeling of wonder to the reader.

I love being a reviewer because I can review great books like this, but my review copies don't include things like glow in the dark star maps, so I can only imagine how lucky a young explorer will be to open the map in a dark room and gaze in to space.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group-Wide Eyed Editions, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
