Owen Davey
Expect a visually led, imaginative space story rather than a reliable account of Laika’s life.
A visually led introduction to the International Space Station, combining engineering, astronaut routines and scientific research. Its distinctive angle is the station as a shared international achievement, rather than space exploration presented only as individual adventure.
Sam Hutchinson
A lively, game-based way to explore space facts, especially for shared play. Its strongest appeal is the choice between answering independently and turning the book into a hosted quiz.
Saskia Gwinn
A gentle first look at star science, pairing a broad explanation of stellar change with a memorable rhythm and vivid visual journey. It offers shared reading, noticing pictures and simple opportunities to wonder about space.
Antoinette Portis
Expect an imaginative, participatory encounter: the reader becomes the alien visitor meeting Blrg and Zrk through the pages. The book combines visual jokes, colourful extraterrestrials and playful misunderstandings with a temporary portal premise.
