This one will keep them busy.

How do astronauts go to the bathroom? Does food taste different in space? I prefer to remain on Earth, what other space jobs can I do?

The answers to all of these questions and much more are inside this book! This book covers the basic info that you’ll find in pretty much every space book, but then it really goes above and beyond (get it? space pun) with fascinating facts and information about astronauts and the space industry.

“DID YOU KNOW?
Swimming deep underwater feels a bit like space, so astronauts learn how to scuba dive in a giant swimming pool with parts of the ISS.”

As an awesome bonus, there are two super fun activities at the end of the book. There’s a press-out cardboard rocket that you can assemble and then zoom around the room. And there are also over 100 stickers kids can use on two different fold-out scenes, one that invites them to design their own galaxy and another where they get to decorate the surface of the moon.
