Do you want an engaging yet educational activity book for your children?
You've found it.

This is the activity book that keeps on giving. Aimed at younger kids, this Astronomy book is the perfect introduction into outer space without it being 'simple'.
Take a deep dive into Astronomy with fun activities that help young brains connect to the perfect bite sized information on each page.

If you and your children are studying the solar system or any aspect of outer space then this is a must add to your curriculum. A resource that is hands on is always a winner.

I was gifted a digital copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

The Astronomy Activity Book for Kids is an excellent resource for young readers who are interested in astronomy and space exploration. The book is packed with fun and engaging activities that are both scientifically accurate and visually appealing.

One of the things I appreciated most about this book was its attention to scientific accuracy. The information presented is well-researched and presented in a way that is accessible to young readers. The illustrations and graphics are also fantastic, making the book a visually appealing resource for kids.

However, I was expecting more experiments in this activity book. The book primarily contains mazes, paper activities, and puzzles. While these activities are fun and engaging, I was hoping for more hands-on experiments and activities that would allow kids to engage with the subject matter in a more interactive way.

Overall, the Astronomy Activity Book for Kids is a super cute and educational resource that will appeal to young readers who are interested in space and astronomy. While I was hoping for more experiments, the book's accuracy and visual appeal make it a worthwhile addition to any young reader's library. I give it four stars.

This was pretty cute. Nothing overly interesting, though nothing that I would’ve been able to find in other content

I could see using this though, since it’s readily available, but nothing stood out about it that would make me specifically only use this item

This is awesome! We go up the the California Sequoias every couple of months and we love to star gaze in the mountain skies where the light pollution is very minimal. This book was an awesome sidekick to our stargazing. It helped us find a few constellations and it gave us a few ideas about trying to keep an eye out for future meteor showers. We also really enjoyed all the number dot activities and mazes. Overall this was a really awesome book and I would easily recommend it to families with young star gazers.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

First of all, where was this activity book when I was a kid?! This is soooo informative. It's thorough without being overwhelming. The graphics are gorgeous- colors and contrast really draw you in visually. The activities are great and there's so many choices in case your little one doesn't like a specific activity- fill in the letter, mazes, coloring, connect the dots, word scramble, word search, stargazing instructions. My little one is 4 and some of the activities were more advanced for him but he was able to enjoy others so there really is something for all ages although I would recommend this more for 5 and above.
This would be best bought in a physical copy. The format isn't compatible with Kindle. It would of course be easiest on a physical copy for all the writing/coloring.

Astronomy Activity Book for kids is a wonderful beginner book for children. This book not only covers the basics of astronomy but every section has mazes, word puzzles and even areas in which your little one can practice their handwriting and spelling skills. The activity book was larger than what I expected but also appreciate how the authors knew their audience. This activity book is for ages 5-7, is very colorful and engaging. I would not only pair this with a telescope for a child’s birthday or Christmas present but would also recommend it for your next camping trip!

Thank you to NetGalley and Zeitgeist for sending me the digital ARC of this book.

I'm glad to have been able to read this book! My daughter loves learning about astronomy and this book was absolutely perfect for her. The activities combined with the lessons made it very easy for her to grasp the information AND retain it. Most workbooks don't work well for her, but this one was great! The concepts were well laid out and the activities captured her attention.

I will surely be recommending this to friends and family.

My kids love anything astronomy or astrology, so take that as a preemptive warning that they were incredibly biased to love this book.
And they did! The whole family loved this book and can hardly wait for the next full moon so we can pull out the telescope and put some of these activities to the test. The moon calendar was probably my teen's favorite part of the whole book as they immediately made a copy of it in their planner to start tracking the monthly lunar cycles.

The coloring book activities are reluctantly difficult to do with an ebook, but the kids are looking forward to doing their own versions of them until we are able to order a physical copy for them all during the holidays.

This isn't just a recommendation. It's a rather aggressive "Why haven't you ordered your own copy yet?" Your little stargazer will thank you and love every second of using this wonderful little book.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Excellent activity book for kids who want to learn about astronomy and what's in the sky.

HOW FLUFFING COOL IS THIS BOOK!?

Admission: I don't generally like space or space-related movies or books..I'm not sure the term for it, but it's kind of a phobia and the vibe essentially bores me (no greenery, plants, shrubs, etc) BUT THIS BOOK IS THE BEES KNEES!!

Word searches, tracing, spotting differences, drawing activities- and SO. MUCH. MORE! I thoroughly enjoyed this- more so than I thought I would! Highly addicting and engaging - bright colors, fun artwork and the games are educational BUT NOT BORING!
This review will not do this book justice, so JUST PICK IT UP!

*Disclaimer- while this would be SUPERB for a classroom, each student would really need their own copy (NOTE TO THE PUBLISHER- TOTALLY offer educational sets for classrooms, this would be a FREAKING FANTASTIC addition to a lesson plan!!) it's suited to one kiddo as an activity book personalized to them. I would recommend to a younger audience as there are word/letter tracings- but there are also larger and more advanced themes sprinkled in.

LET'S ALSO BE REAL AND TALK ABOUT HOW COOL IT IS THAT THE AUTHOR IS A FORMER NASA SCIENTIST- you CANNOT get a book more authentic than this!

Thanks to Netgalley, the author and publisher for the DRC!

This book has some fun activities and facts about the solar system for the age range specified (5-7 years old).

Ebook is not the ideal way to read it, as the formatting isn’t great with the pictures, plus there are a lot of activities to do in the book that can’t be done in digital form. I will definitely look for a paper copy for my kids to enjoy.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a review copy.

<b> Astronomy Activity Book for Kids </b> is a Children's activity book that circles around topic such as our solar system, nebulas, galaxies and more!

The cover is inviting and the illustrations are well thought out and adorable!

Within the pages there are activities such as tracking the moons, mazes, and even some coloring pages.

5 Stars. Would recommend. I like the way the activity book is laid out. I could see using it within homeschooling or alongside classroom curriculum. Between the illustrations and the educational pieces it is easy to learn material as well.

<b>Thanks to the publisher, Z Kids, the author, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC copy to read and review. Review will also be posted to my blog (www.kagoodsell.com/book-reviews), GoodReads, TikTok (@unearthingeco), as well as NetGalley reviews.</b>

Aurora Lipper's Astronomy Activity Book for Kids is a great introductory picture book about constellations for young readers. There are basic facts, pictures to colour, hidden objects, connect the dots and word puzzles. While the book doesn't go into depth about the subject, it does give a starting place to expose kids to the concept of space.

Disclaimer: A copy of this book was provided by the publisher.

I LOVE this! This is the perfect activity book for kids who love space and have a hard time staying engaged with other workbooks! I will absolutely be buying for my 5 year old who loves Spaces.

This Astronomy Activity Book features over 100 activities to learn about space and stars. Recommended for ages 5-7, but I could see it up to age 10. Lots of activities with word searches and item matching. The illustrations are very bright and fun. Many facts are sprinkled throughout about planets, stars, and the solar system.

Review of eBook

Activities in this giant astronomy activity book address a number of topics including The Sun and the Moon, Inner Solar System, Outer Solar System, Star Constellations, Galaxies, Star Clusters, Nebulae, Comets, Shooting Stars, and More! And Stargazing Activities.

First, young readers fill out a form with information including, name, age, and why space is cool. Then the young reader tells where he/she would travel to in space, how he/she looks at stars, what he/she might name a star, and what he/she would like to learn more about.

In each of the nine chapters, young readers will find a brief introductory paragraph with basic information followed by activities. Many are mazes to finish; others are coloring pages, fill-in-the-blanks, or connect-the-dot pages. Trace the words helps young readers recognize words related to the stars and space [although some of them are most likely too difficult for five-year-old readers]. Other pages ask young readers to identify rhyming words, skip counting, spot the differences, fill in the blanks, word search, ordering [large to small], color by number, spelling, and draw and color. Finally, young readers use eyes, binoculars, and telescopes to examine the night sky.

=========

Young readers ages five through seven are the target audience for this activity book. Although the youngest readers may need help with some of the activities and most will need someone to help them read the explanatory information and new astronomy-specific vocabulary, they are age-appropriate and likely to be similar to activities the child sees in school. There’s a lot of fun packed in the pages of this activity book; the astronomy tidbits help present a broad overview of the information. And while the book is sure to keep young space enthusiasts happily engaged, it could serve as a stepping stone for further learning as well.

Brightly colored pictures and illustrations fill each page and engage the young reader.

An answer key provides the answers for each of the puzzles and activities in the book.

Highly recommended.

I received a free copy of this eBook from Zeitgeist, Z Kids and NetGalley

I can see a parent and child using this as an extension activity to a star gazing night or visit to a planetarium. The illustrations are bright and engaging.
