ReviewsA treasurable work of non-fiction... a picture book of unusual muted elegance. * Sunday Times * We love Professor Astro Cat in our house! -- Benji Davies * Author of The Storm Whale * Jam-packed with amazing facts about space, I learned something new on every page. I really loved pawing through this book, soaking up the beautiful and engaging illustrations. It's a real star. -- Owen Davey * Author of the About Animals Series * A whirlwind exploration indeed but it's hugely informative and thanks to the Professor's gently humorous, yet authoritative voice, accessible to young readers. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub * The perfect resource for learning about our solar system and space exploration! * littlelibraryowl on Instagram * Bursting with colour and jam packed full of interesting facts that are easily digestible. * raising_bookworms on Instagram * Flying Eye Books produce brilliant information books that are perfect for primary school libraries. * Anne Thompson (alibrarylady) on Twitter * A beautifully designed non-fiction book. * Books For Topics * The way facts are presented is very informal and fun, including lots of amazing curiosities that will make exploring this book (and virtually space) even more interesting. * @thekidsbookstagrammer on Instagram * Chock-full of detailed, factual information, presented in a highly accessible way. * thelittleliterarysociety on Instagram * Brighter, bolder and packed full of updated information, it feels like a whole new adventure. -- Bookbairn on Instagram
