Paper World: Space cover

A one-of-a-kind paper-cut book where space comes to life!

Paper World: Space uses ingenious paper cuts to reveal the wonders of space, from our Solar System to distant galaxies to the Big Bang. With detailed art by paper-cut artist Gail Armstrong, a fact-packed text, and flaps and die-cuts on every spread, this unique novelty book will appeal to all the family.

Written by the Templar Company; illustrated by Gail Armstrong. Big Picture Press; $24.99; 30 pages. Lift-the-flap books are always popular, and this oversize book features more than 30. The journey starts by defining what astronomers do, and how best to see stars (away from light pollution), before introducing young readers to the planets in our solar system and their locations. A gorgeous spread covers the sun ("It is so huge that more than one million Earths could fit inside it!"), while additional pages introduce various types of stars and galaxies, space stations, and a future Mars base. A glossary concludes the book. Ages 8 to 12. * Air & Space *
