What a cute book about space and relating it to the alphabet. My daughter loved the bright graphics. Thanks for the ARC netgalley!

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.

The concept of this book is great. I really enjoyed reading an alphabet book that has such a narrow focus and it definitely introduces new vocabulary words. My biggest issue is that the surrounding text doesn’t do a good job of defining those words. My kids kept asking what the words meant and I had to Google them for an explanation as the book just throws them at you as a word that begins with that letter. My other issue was that there isn’t a consistent verbal flow throughout the book. The rhythmic pattern on one page is different on another or there just is no rhythm on another.

The illustrations are beautiful.

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!

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.

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.

I love alphabet books and enjoy checking out new ones. An Alphabet in Space has great illustrations and interesting tidbits of information for each letter of the alphabet. The text works well as a read aloud with good rhythm and rhymes for most of the letters, although a few are somewhat awkward. Young children may need a little help understanding a few of the concepts, but overall it's a book they'll find quite engaging. I look forward to sharing with my granddaughter.
Thanks Net Galley for the early access to this charming book.

A bit advanced. My kids asked what some things were and I didn’t know. Pictures were great but I think this has a very narrow niche audience

Overall a very cute space ABC book for kids. The pictures were eye-catching and the ABC letter/word matches were cute. I did have issues reading the book in Kindle version. This verion did not allow you to rotate the pages, so you could only view half pages at a time -- this cut the page in half, so reading the text and seeing the images were a bit difficult. If i read in paperback I would have had a much better experience.

My daughter and I really enjoyed learning our alphabet with space items! Such a fun way to teach your young one’s their letters of the alphabet. The illustrator also did a wonderful job as well! Perfect for girls and boys!

Thanks NetGalley for this arc in exchange for our honest feedback!

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!

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 picture book is stellar! The illustrations are delightful! There is a simple description of the space object representing each object which is just right for lapsit reading ages as well as preschoolers, kindergarteners, and beginner readers..

This book of alphabets based on anything and everything on space is so well done!

The colourful pages and easy-to-the-eyes print make it so easy and fun to read with.

Definitely go for this one.

Thank you, Books GoSocial, for the advance reading copy.

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.

This is such a cute children's book. This is a great book to teach children about space. It is the ABC's of space and gives great information that is age appropriate. This will definitely spark more curiosity about space if your child is interested. I thought the illustrations were also very well done. This is a great book for children!
