For every little one on your list, a 3-D book about space you can touch and move—all on your own! Help your youngest loved ones leap into STEAM and stay curious about the cosmos forever.

Don't just read about space—make it move! In Hands-On Academy Space, little hands will literally make solar systems spin, moons eclipse, and universes expand with wheels, tabs, flaps, and more made from sturdy, durable artcard, all while learning the fundamentals of space exploration and the mysteries of the cosmos. Bold, colorful art and simple vocabulary round out this first-of-its-kind, fully interactive STEAM book! A perfect addition to preschool shelves and early-learning programs, and a fun way to inspire STEAM (and answer tough questions!) at a time when inquisitive minds are beginning to blossom. 

Topics covered include:

  • The solar system
  • The sun
  • The moon
  • The earth
  • The planets
  • Comets and asteroids
  • Galaxies
  • The universe
  • Human space exploration
