Another Discoverology Title from Barron’s–
Tutankhamen’s Tomb Kids will find engrossing facts along with food for their imaginations in this 3-D introduction to the planets, the stars, the galaxies, and human exploration of space. Full-color pop-ups and gatefold illustrations on every spread show the Earth and its relation to the Sun and Moon, the solar system’s planets revolving around the Sun, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, and other heavenly bodies. Even the dramatic front cover, which illustrates a NASA space shuttle, features a slide-open door to reveal details of the craft’s interior. The book’s two final illustrations show–

  • A rocket launch with a pull-tab that moves the rocket
  • The International Space Station, which pops up to present a 3-D effect

    It’s a voyage into space that every boy and girl can take, simply by opening this exciting, color-illustrated book! “The information is accurate and up-to-date.”
