Reviews
You can keep a moon diary, make a pinhole viewer and a sundial, dress an astronaut, guide a Mars rover, make a Martian bug, answer a quiz and take part in the Lunarlympics. And that's only half the book! A terrific learning resource, or just great fun, this is a really engaging activity book. -- minervareads * minervareads *
An ideal gift! This is a great book, full of facts and relevant activities and experimenting. -- Alaric Thompson * Science in Education *
