This is a very cool book for young kids interested in space. They did a great job of making the illustrations and flaps interactive and accurate and informed but fun.

Love these types of books as it means that the children can actually engage in them. This is also quite educating as well

Really good factual book for kids, but did not like that it drifted from this and included an alien on the very last page. May scare some young children.

I can't say I agree with the placement of all the flaps, but kiddo seems to like it - he's even named the aliens at the end.

One of the best children's books I've ever read. Hoping it inspires Matilda to become an astronaut.
