"Odd Science: Spectacular Space" by James Olstein (HarperCollins Children's Books)

Regular ReadItDaddy readers will know that both C and I are absolutely bonkers about space.

We've just come back from what we consider the "Mecca" for all Space fans, Kennedy Space Center in Florida - so we were delighted to find this book in our to-do pile when we got back from our lovely holiday.

"Odd Science: Spectacular Space" by James Olstein is the latest in this fascinating and fun fact-packed series, this time taking you on an out-of-this-world journey into zero gravity, with a whole Saturn V rocket full of amazing facts and anecdotes from Space and beyond.

For example, did you know you can't cry in space because of the lack of gravity? Or that the planet Saturn could actually float in water (assuming you could find a bathtub big enough! Someone had better call Galactus!)

With a nifty cloth-bound cover, and brilliant illustrations throughout, let's have a look at some example pages from this brill book.

Wi Fi on the moon? That's good to know!

No bawling aboard the ISS!

Got time on your hands? How about an 800 year long flight to Pluto!
Each fact is presented with a fun illustration, this is definitely a fab book for space fans like us, we've really enjoyed leafing through this one.

Sum this book up in a sentence: Another brilliant addition to the "Odd Science" series, with a ton of amazing space facts presented in a really engaging way.

"Odd Science: Spectacular Space" by James Olstein is out today, published by HarperCollins Children's Books (kindly supplied for review).
