An exciting interactive journey into space for budding little astronauts.
Peep inside a rocket to see the fuel going in, then help launch it into space. Ingenious flaps show how parts drop away from the rocket as the fuel is used up, and how it clicks into the docking position when it reaches the International Space Station. Curious young children can open flaps to peep right inside the capsule, Mission Control and the ISS to find out how everything works, and then open a parachute to help the astronauts return to Earth.
Lara has been learning how to grow a book since 2016, following a degree in English and Italian at Oxford and teaching jobs in Italy and Myanmar. From explaining how economics works, to inventing boredom-busting activities, to telling a good dragon yarn, she's enjoyed every minute of the job.
