We have been through our fair share of Preschool Space Books. Bitty has been obsessed for months now and we check them out on the regular, not just for homeschool. So I feel like I have a few solid recommendations for preschool space books your little astronaut is going to adore!

General Preschool Space Books
Homeschool Preschool Space books should have lots of information, plenty of big words, but still, keep things simple enough for little minds to start to grasp some concepts. Give your little astronaut any of these books and they will be very happy!

- Sun! One in a Billion
- Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years

Mars Books
Bitty finds Mars really interesting, especially the fact that there are robots on mars right now! Mars is the perfect topic for some preschool space books as we are learning new things about it constantly! Who knows maybe your little astronaut will be the first person on Mars!

Moon Books
We didn’t focus a ton on the moon this time around but there are some awesome preschool space books that talk all about it!

Astronaut books
You cant have a list of preschool space books and not have a bunch of stuff about astronauts! We really liked the books that talked about what it was like to train, work and live in space the best!

This topic can be a little difficult to teach so keep your preschool space books about constellations simple and maybe use it as a chance to tell some folklore and legends!
