Dr Maggie’s Astronaut Adventure Activity Book
Written by renowned space scientist Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, this fun, fact-filled activity book for kids is packed with over 30 puzzles designed to put readers' astronaut skills to the test!
Out-of-this-world space games include: finding the kit to build a Mars rover, collecting all the floating objects on the International Space Station, solving number chains to launch a rocket, plotting the route of a lunar landing sequence and an astronaut-dinner-themed Sudoku.
Along the way, Dr Maggie’s fascinating, bite-sized facts allow readers to learn all kinds of incredible things about life in space – from what astronauts eat to what space smells like, and develop their own astronaut skills.
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 space to life for young space scientists and will keep puzzlers entertained for hours on end.
