I really enjoyed reading about space. My favourite bit was about a man sending messages to another man on Earth and it took so look for the messages to arrive that the man didn't recieve all the messages.

This factual book contains some of the most weird but awesome facts about the mysterious and unknown space. Personally I am a fan of space and this book really interests me. My favourite fact is Neptune’s climate is fit for forming diamonds. This book is really awesome to me as the name already stated that.

There was very interesting facts that I didn’t know before. I liked how they compared their findings to things that we can easily relate to like how high a man can jump on earth and then on other planets with their different gravitational pull.

I though about all the facts i don't know. I like the pictures in the book and I liked and understood the facts that it had said. It was factual and the surprising fact was you could fit all he planets of the solar system between Earth and the moon. i recommend it for younger children two, but should read it with an adult as it might have tricky words and they might not understand. But the suitable age would probably be 7 and over.

I like this book because it tells you lots of different kind of stuff about space and it’s a really cool book. It’s about an alien called Andrew he floats away into space with balloons but then when it gets really hotter balloons pop so then he falls down. I recommend you to read this book because it’s a really good book And it tells us lots of things about space.

I learned from it things that I didn't know and it was fun and it was about the Earth and space!!

I thought it was really interesting and a bit funny. It made me laugh to learn that astronauts have to wee into a Hoover and they sleep in beds on the walls and the part of the space ship they live in is really small. A storm cloud can weigh 1 million tonnes, jellyfish have no hearts and everything in our body originally comes from stars. I really liked this book because you can read a little bit at a time and it teaches you lots of different things about Space and Earth.

I love these amazing facts of space as much as I love reading 'murderous maths' (not actually murderous) to see facts about math. 'The infinite lives of Maisy Day' is still better though.

Best book written.

I like this book because there are loads of cool space facts to learn and if you learn them you will get a high score when you go to university. My favourite page in the book is the one about arthur the alien, about to take off with some helium balloons.

I think that this is a good book; it's full of facts about space, although it could have more facts inside. An interesting book, this is perfect for anyone, even if they don't know a thing about space or anything to do with it, because this book will give them the basics.
Captain Tulip Starlight 23.07.2020

Princess Nectarine Desperado 28.06.2020
It interested me because of the facts like spiders blood is see through I also liked going on the journey with the alien.
