Beschreibung

Written by renowned space scientist Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, this fun, fact-filled activity book for kids is packed with over 30 puzzles themed around space exploration.

Out-of-this-world space games include: a mind-boggling Asteroid Belt search and find, a brain-busting spot the difference based on the Great Red Spot, a Mars-themed maze, a cosmic co-ordinates grid, a planet-themed Sudoku and a Moon-themed shadow match game.

Along the way, Dr Maggie's fascinating bite-sized facts allow readers to learn all kinds of incredible things about planets, our solar system and the universe - from how black holes form to whether diamond rain falls on Jupiter.

All of the puzzles are beautifully illustrated by Chelen Ecija, who illustrated Dr Maggie's award-winning children's book, Am I Made of Stardust? This innovative combination of immersive, illustrated activities and engaging, fun facts brings the universe to life for young space scientists and will keep puzzlers entertained for hours on end.
