My son and I loved this book and the accompanying app! We received the app first, my six-year-old dived straight in and started his first space mission. The app seemed easy to use and visually appealing. It taught us both a lot about our solar system. The competitive element of the app really motivated my son to read and absorb the information given; he soon learnt that you couldn't be successful just guessing the answers! The book arrived a bit later and was immediately snatched out of my hands by my son and devoured on the sofa. The beautiful illustrations really helped explain the concepts being discussed and greatly add to the book. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book and app to other children and would probably suggest it's suitable from Key Stage 2 due to some technical scientific vocab but there is no reason why younger readers couldn't enjoy it if supported by an adult. A real must-have for any budding space explorer or astrophysicist! 64 pages / Ages 7+ / Reviewed by Jo Cummins, literacy manager.
