Atlas van de Aarde (Atlas of Earth) is a lovely book in which the Dutch astronaut André Kuipers takes you on a journey over the world, as seen from space. In this large-format book you can also view the earth from space. With Earth Day coming up (april 22), we like to put this special book in the spotlight on snazzie!
The book contains a lot of facts, the mini-monsters really like that. But the information is a bit sober, to be honest we expected a little more from it. That said, Paco Vink's illustrations are beautiful and the idea of the Earth seen from space is really fun!
We bought the new book for Puk at Space Expo in Noordwijk, where it was launched. Mrs Kuipers gave the introduction and then André Kuipers himself came on, to read a chapter to the kids. The children present could also ask questions, and as you can imagine there were a lot! It was a fun, interesting afternoon and we go home with a beautiful book. Lucky!
