From seeing the stars to taking a tour of the moon, The Klutz Guide to the Galaxy is an educational, entertaining, intergalactic treat. The book comes with 6 tools, including a build-it-yourself telescope and a no-batteries-required sundial, to help kids ages 8 and up navigate their way through outer space. The design and layout is kid-friendly, making it easy for galactic explorers to digest information and ponder some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our universe, right from their backyards.
Reading Level: 8 and up
Paperback: 67 pages
Book overview: THE KLUTZ GUIDE TO THE GALAXY by Pat Murphy and the Scientists of Klutz Labs
Isn’t it time you discovered your place in the galaxy?
Explore the universe without leaving the comfort of your backyard. When the scientists at Klutz Labs tackle outer space, we not only ask questions like “Where’s the Big Dipper” but also “If I lived on planet Mercury, am I already old enough to drive?” Use the included telescope, red light for night use, sundial, and astrolab to start exploring our great galaxy.

Great book!
Awesome book for my school-kids.
Would like to win for my daughter.
That looks like a great book!
My 8 year-old great-niece would love sharing this with her grandfather. They have been reading Greek myths and she loves the constellation stories.
This is a book that I would not only love to win for my grandson but also for myself. I could incorporate this into the Science Explosion Workshop at the library at the nearby Army base where I help out.
Thank you,

My two children would love this book! I think it is so important to engage them in science early so they continue that interest later in life.
My son would love this! He is very interested in anything pertaining to space and enjoys looking up at the stars at night.
