Have you heard of Destiny, Columbus and Kibo? Readers of this non-fiction introduction to space work will find out they are laboratory modules on the International Space Station.

Each 2-page chapter discusses an aspect of working on the International Space Station, such as space walking and various types of experiments, including astronaut twins Scott and Mark Kelly.

Clear photos overlaid with fact boxes and captions fill the right hand pages. Smaller photos on the left side accompany the text which is written in an easy-to-read font. Backmatter challenges readers to “Work Like an Astronaut” as well as expected features.

Part of the “Space-ology” series, there is enough content here to inform young readers, but not too complicated for younger browsers – ages 4 and up. Even as an adult reader, I found a few facts I did not know.
