Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The perfect first space book for those almost-readers, There's No Place Like Space takes us on a whirlwind tour of our solar system, with a few constellations thrown in for good measure. Cat in the Hat (along with beloved Thing One and Thing Two) straps on his space suit and rhymes his way among the nine planets, presenting important facts along the way. Where else could your preschooler learn phonics and astronomy at same time? "A planet can have satellites that surround it. Uranus has lots of these objects around it" is just one example. This is a fine addition to the library of any young stargazer--few books are written with this many facts furnished in such an easy-reading manner. (Preschool to early reader) --Jill Lightner

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3-Fans of Dr. Seuss's favorite feline will enjoy learning through rhymed couplets and cartoonlike illustrations similar to the originals. Each book combines basic facts with interesting trivia to introduce readers to topics that are sure to be of interest. From Bugs: "Here is a riddle/I learned from my mother./How's a skunk and a ladybug/like one another?/When danger is near,/it is easy to tell-/they suddenly give off/a terrible smell!" While the grammar is off, Seussian rhyme is rarely totally correct ("thunk"). In Space, readers learn, "On Venus the weather/is always the same-/hot, dry, and windy,/with no chance of rain." The familiar format and entertaining text are sure to appeal to beginning readers.

Dirty writing

Has a dirty mouth. On page 26 it was using remembering words to help remember the names to the planets, and it started off using people names and ended with up.....uranus.??? What!!! My son needless to say was uncomfortable with this combination. And I'm disappointed in the writer for not catching such a bad combo. Other than that book was good. Just can't get over such a bad slip up.

I purchased this as a gift for my one year old nephew. He has EVERYTHING a spoiled 1 year old could ever POSSIBLY want. TYPICALLY IT'S A GIFT CARD "GIFT" for me, but wanted to do something different. Took a chance on this and added the Dr Suess Space book.... Such a hit!!! His 3 year old sister enjoys it too.(double whamie!!))) and she is learning to read to her little brother while viewing the Stars!!..above their heads!!!...so far so good.... yet we will see....

A must-have for any little space lover

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2016

I am constantly trying to find ways to feed my 5 year old's love of space. He knows all the planets, many different aspects about each planet, their sizes, their moons, the notable stars, the black hole, comets, meteors, the ISS, you name it. I am amazed at his knowledge level and especially the fact that I didn't teach him any of it. The educational space videos on the Angry Birds space app deserve the credit for kicking off his knowledge and interest in space. I only came in later to supplement with reading materials and tangible visuals. Being an educator I understand the importance of taking advantage of children's love for learning. He is so welcoming of new scientific information that I would be amiss not to find various ways to entertain his brain with space facts.

I purchased the National Geographic Kids First Big Book of Space (which is a book I wish I could give 10 stars - and I have a review on that page) and this Dr. Seuss book for Christmas. We have a deep love for Dr. Seuss in our home, and it just so happens that he and my son turned out to share the same birthday (random and useless fact :-). But I said that to say that my son also has a love for Dr. Seuss and feels like Dr. Seuss (whom he calls his friend) wrote all of his books just for him, LOL. The National Geographic book has vivid imagery, with the facts presented in more of an educational format with chapters, introductions, etc. so it is great for serious learning. This book (while not written by Seuss) follows in true Dr. Seuss fashion, with humor, fun words and phrases, creative rhymes, and laughable images. I like the mnemonics used to reinforce learning, though I was concerned about this because my son already knows the content and I did not want him to get confused. So far this has not been a problem. Even though the information is familiar, the Seuss-speak draws my son to this book day after day. It is one of his chosen books for bedtime reading.

This book is creative, educational, accurate, and entertaining. Definitely a must-have for any little space lover.

Bought a few of these books as party bag stuffers for my sons astronaut theme party. I was very impressed with the book until I came across a sentence "up uranus" I guess the author was trying to be funny or something. My kids obviously are oblivious to what this means but i did not find this humourous at all and i feel bad that i gave the books out to other kids . If this is something that would bother you do not buy.

A PERFECT BLEND OF FUN AND EDUCATION - PERFECT FOR HOMESCHOOLING

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

The Cat in the Hat Learning Library books are fantastic! Each book is incredibly educational while also being fun and engaging. It’s a winning combination. I can not recommend them highly enough. We have bought nearly all of the books. Even though my younger daughter has aged past them, she insists we keep buying them and will not part with them. This is a bit of a bone of contention in my house, because my older daughter teaches and wants them in her classroom. Our compromise is that my older daughter sneaks out one book at a time on an as-needed basis - and brings it right back!

Before you read these books, you should probably start with:

I bought this as a gift for a 5 year old. He absolutely loves it! He is just starting to learn about space and is very excited to learn more. He screamed at the top of his lungs when he opened this! I got a "great pick" from the dad. The short sentences are perfect for this little guy who is starting to read and recognizing small words. The length of the book is great because it's long enough to be a story but short enough to keep his attention to learn to read.
