Written by the Templar Company; illustrated by Gail Armstrong. Big Picture Press; $24.99; 30 pages. Lift-the-flap books are always popular, and this oversize book features more than 30. The journey starts by defining what astronomers do, and how best to see stars (away from light pollution), before introducing young readers to the planets in our solar system and their locations. A gorgeous spread covers the sun ("It is so huge that more than one million Earths could fit inside it!"), while additional pages introduce various types of stars and galaxies, space stations, and a future Mars base. A glossary concludes the book. Ages 8 to 12.
