Children’s Book Review: The Greatest Intergalactic Guide to Space Ever

In this humorous book, you are shown the wonders of the galaxy by the Brainwaves, devilishly cute little mischief makers who make your journey an entertaining adventure.
Your guided tour through space begins with the Brainwaves explaining the basics of the universe, from planetary moons to galaxy types. Not only is there of course, the requisite information and facts about each, but the little Brainwaves are constantly interjecting with jokes, puns and cute little comments that keep any boredom at bay.
And if you happen to be planning a trip to Mars for your summer vacation this year, there is a full page detailing the weather, who has visited before you (less than 30 visitors, you would be unique!) and what the temperature is.
Children get to read and have a few good laughs, have fun searching for a character named Sidney Spacehopper on each page and learn so much about the universe the whole time they are doing it. It’s a win-win situation and one winner of a book!
