Astronomy: Out of this World!
by Simon Basher and Dan Green
Kingfisher (2009)
Part of a highly original series, Astronomy features eye-popping illustrations in the style of Japanese animation. In Simon Basher's world, the planets talk about themselves, offering facts, statistics, and boasts — and a little bit of whimsy. Basher's books make learning science fun.
