I have a son who is obsessed with outer space, and even at 5 years old he absolutely loved this book and learned several new words!

I was surprised the author could come up with something space related for every letter. There are little bits of information in a rhyming voice leading up to the "A is for..." part. The illustrations are vibrant and great for showing what each term is, and the terminology is all explained in an appropriate way for children.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this fun alphabet book ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Do you have a little astronaut in your house who can't get enough space-themed things? This book would be PERFECT. It's a wonderful blend of space information and facts with a reinforcement of the letters of the alphabet. The illustrations are clear and realistic but still colorful and fun. A wonderful book!

This is a super cute alphabet book for my science loving little guy! Be prepared to look up some things to be able to answer questions that will naturally come up when teaching new words and concepts to little learners, but even that is fun! The pictures are engaging and beautiful. This is a cute addition to any little ones library!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy in exchange for review.

What a cute book and perfect for kids who are learning the English alphabet and also show an interest in space!
Some of the words seem a bit advanced for kids and would require additional explanation, but that's okay because books should inspire curiosity!

The illustrations were well done and, to my very amateur eye, appeared accurate!

Would buy for a child who has shown interest in space and is learning the alphabet.

I attempted to read this multiple times on the NetGalley app but sadly it would not work. I sent it to my kindle and worked like a charm! Cute book, educational but so fun! My kids will LOVE this! I would absolutely buy this!

My kiddos love space and they really liked this book. I even learned a few new space words! We had fun looking at the pictures and practicing our letters. I especially loved how each page featured a capita and a lower case letter. My kids are two and I feel like they are mostly exposed to the capital letter. In most cases it looks different than the lower case and it causes some confusion. It was nice to practice both at the same time.

This is a fantastic children's book for the whole family. I wondered how they would find something for every letter of the alphabet and they didn't disappoint. Of course the easiest picks, E is for Earth and S is for Sun, but T is for Taurus Constellation? How fun for young and old to research this sight. I have a feeling some telescopes will be purchased after reading this book.

I tried to view this book on the NetGalley app and it wouldn't work. I sent it to my kindle for a few extra steps and was able to read it. Hopefully this is just an ARC issue and will be fixed before publication!

Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for access to this advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest review!

I love ABC books with kids because it is a great way to get them interested in a variety of topics. This is a super fun book if you want to introduce space and the solar system into your classroom.

An Alphabet in Space is an adorable book for any young child learning about their ABCs! I was super impressed that the author came up with something for every letter! This book is so cute and creative and I would definitely purchase for my young children to aid in their education and learning!

Thank you to the publisher and to Netgalley for an eARC of this picture book! "An Alphabet in Space" is an alphabet book with an outer-space theme. It has engaging rhymes that define words, and colorful, illustrative pictures that will hold kids' attention. For these reasons I would love to use it for my library's storytime (I am a librarian). Kids who are already interested in outer space will love it and will probably even learn a few new terms- the book has a few unusual ones such as pulsar, quasar, and dark matter. Again, I especially like the rhymes interspersed that define these harder words.

A cute book with good graphics. The book was a bit advanced for my two-year-old but he enjoyed the pictures. We talked about all the letters and I know he will grow into learning all the other fun space facts in this book as he grows.

Each letter is framed as a rhyming riddle. The answers are on the same page as the riddle,so if used for a guessing game it would be a read and reveal with another person. (My 7 year old loves guessing games, so this one was a blast for her.) So much fun!

My family loved An Alphabet in Space! I read it to my 3 and 5 year olds who both love all things outer space. My 5 year old is in Kindergarten and has learned his ABCs so he especially liked that aspect and being able to say what letter was next. We enjoyed the rhyming lines and interesting facts. The illustration was colorful and beautiful. This would be the perfect book for early readers and for the classroom. Easily a 5 star children's book.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for allowing me access to an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved this book! It was incredibly cute and well-written. The illustrations are gorgeous. Astronomy concepts were introduced in a manner friendly to the littlest readers. I recommended this book to our children's purchaser after completing it.

Lovely book. I really liked how each letter had a description of what it was too. A great factual book made more fun. It would suit any age of child really starting very young and I imagine being a favourite into school age too.

I thought that this was a lovely book and the illustrations were perfect!

The book was well written and easy to follow and my five year old daughter loved it.

She does know her ABCs but she is space mad and this book was right up her street

This was a book that we both really enjoyed and she read it to me with only a few hints

It is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended!

I had so much fun reading this book and can’t wait to read this book to my classroom soon!

I highly recommend this book to anyone with kids or who is an educator.

My daughter loved this book. She's finally gotten her ABCs down and has been really into space lately so this was a hit. She's asked for it a few times now so she can try to "read" it to herself. Very cute and a fun intro to the cosmos.
