A great guide for big & small kids
Impressive interactive graphics that do stuff that would not be possible in a conventional book (about topics such as dimensions of outer space, moon phases etc.). Lots of new stuff for an adult, too. Tackles big questions (what happens when stars die) as well as small (what happens in a space station loo). Entertaining & educational.

“It’s AWESOME! it has got some good points nad really good information. It is helpful becuase we are studying Space this Term”- 13 year old girl
Space A Brightpips Guide
This book is amazing, it is the perfect balance of information and fun. I couldn’t put it down for a second, the facts are well worded and easy to understand but still using intelligent language. My favourite bit of the book is how interactive it is, every second page has something to touch and play with. I’m ten times more knowledgable about space, I’m always telling my family random facts about space.
