ALPHABET OF SPACE

Surely blasting off to outer space has never happened with such catchy rhythm and rhyme! Young listeners will zoom around the room as they learn exciting space vocabulary: Hubble telescope, Johannes Kepler, lunar rover, white dwarf star, and zenith, to name a few words. Following the song, the text of this alphabet book offers more detail on each letter topic. The accompanying book's illustrations greatly enhance understanding, as does the glossary. Jim Mola narrates with enthusiasm. His voice is light; his pacing brisk. This lets the informational verses take center stage. Background music is jaunty but not eclipsing. Lift off to learn!
