This is an excellent introduction to the concept of the levels of "Up" there are. From the sky above our heads, all the way out into the outer areas of the solar system, and then back down again.

And, if I learned something from reading this, I'm sure others will as well.

Simply told, by looking up and up, and talking about each layer of the earth's atmosphire, and on into the outer regions.

Good addition to any home or library. A good introduction to easy to understand science.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

A good new children's book about what happens in the air above earth and outer space. At times it was too wordy for early or reluctant readers. However, I liked the concept of showing how many miles things are from the earth. My biggest aggravation was not knowing if I was suppose to read certain pages from top to bottom or bottom to top.

Wonderful illustrations and a plethora of easy to understand facts about the sky above our heads and what's in it. Insects, birds, astronauts o the ISS, the moon, comets and more.

This is a good book to add in the STEAM collection for children. A very colorful and interesting book for children from 5 to 9 years old. The subjects can be used for a sciences class or for general education. Nice work!

The Skies Above My Eyes is a great book filled with facts about all the stuff that's over your head ;) Starting with describing things like sky scrapers in a city, and then moving slowly further and further away from the Earth's surface, this book describes what you will see at each level of "the sky".

I love how detailed some of the images are, with lots of different things going on in the scene and tons of accompanying fact bites. I know some little ones who could spend a very long time poring over each of those pages.

Other pages were on the dark side, making them more difficult to read. I would prefer to see more contrast when reading, especially when the target group is new readers.

Overall, though, this book is sure to be a hit with kids who love learning facts.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - words & pictures for providing me with a DRC of this book.
