Does your child enjoy space, planets, and the universe? Here are space books for preschoolers to read with your curious space explorer.
Something about outer space freaks me out. I mean, we’re talking endless expanse of the universe. More suns than grains of sand on our planet. And just how long space has been around (hint: way longer than the billions of years we’ve imagined).
But my kids? They can’t get enough of space.
Their concept of space and time aren’t as detailed as yours and mine, but they love learning about our solar system, stars, and rockets galore. They can identify the planets, are fascinated about the moon, and have constant questions about outer space.
So, it’s only fitting I search the library for books to feed their curiosity. Below are the books we’ve borrowed about outer space. They’re filled with space shuttles, astronauts, and everything about the solar system.
If your kids love outer space, they’ll love these books as well.
