My Impressions:
My kids have fallen in love with the Wonders of Creation series ever since they read The Ecology book.So when this one showed up on my front door steps I was really excited to get to dig into with them. Just like the Ecology book, and all other newer Wonders of Creation books, this one provides three levels of learning. For us moms that have kids of various ages and stages in their education this is a great resource to tailor fit multiple levels while only using one curriculum source. Each level in found on each page, but in its own color. So you can have multiple children reading their own section at one time if you needed to while not bothering the others. Level One (white) is for your basic learner and focuses on appealing to the natural curiosity of children by asking "Wonder Why?" Level Two (purple) is for the middle grades and gives your child a deeper understanding of the way the universe works together and independently. It also starts to focus on vocabulary development and comprehension using the Mission Log. Once your child reaches Level 3 (black grid) they are developing an advanced knowledge of the universe, vocabulary, theories and concepts and advancement in space studies. This is great for the high school student in the family.
On top of providing rich knowledge about our universe, the author does an amazing job linking everything back to the Creator of the universe. On every page there is "The Stars of Heaven" section that gives you a bible verse specifically related to what you are reading about, tying everything together to point to God.
Hard covered with beautiful illustrations are found on every page that really draw you into what you are reading and make you realize how great our God really is. The pages have a matte finish that make it easy for little hands to turn pages and prevents the pages from becoming stuck together.I the back there is a glossary of terms and a list of other books within the series. To end it all off the last page is actually a three page fold out of the Exploration of Our Solar System.
With both a freshman and junior in high school and a 2nd grader that fell in love with this book it is an easy one to recommended to parents, students and science lovers around the world.
