"A picture book of unusual muted elegance." - The Sunday Times Review (UK) "Cute characters (such as the titular Professor Astro Cat and his assistant Astro Mouse) give a humorous, conversational tone to this nonfiction book's information about space, our solar system, and changing space exploration technology. Like the text, the book's browsable layout encourages readers to keep exploring. Overall, a great book to nurture interest in and wonder at the infinite possibilities of space." - The Horn Book Conducted by a cat in a retro-futuristic space suit, this tour of the solar system and beyond earns style points for both its illustrations and its selection of Factoroids." - Kirkus Reviews "Both modern in its scientific spirit and with a sensibility modeled after the delightful mid-century children's books from the Golden Age of space exploration, it tickles young readers — as well as their space-enchanted parents — into precisely that palpable zest to make contact with the cosmos." - Brain Pickings "A hugely charming book packed with knowledge and humor to make learning about space fun." Cool Hunting ‘Finally! A spectacularly made publication to teach kids about space in an exciting, funny and breathtakingly beautiful way. Illustrator Ben Newman has collaborated with his scientific friend Dr.Dominic Walliman to create this truly astounding publication to be enjoyed by adults and children alike. I genuinely learned more about science and space from flicking through this book than I did in my entire school career. So go buy it!' - It's Nice That, "A picture book of unusual muted elegance." —The Sunday Times Review (UK) "Cute characters (such as the titular Professor Astro Cat and his assistant Astro Mouse) give a humorous, conversational tone to this nonfiction book's information about space, our solar system, and changing space exploration technology.

Although the book aims for a clear style accessible to younger readers, it is chock full of information about planets, stars, and the universe. […] There are great sections on spaceships, space suits, and telescopes. A delightfully illustrated speculative section at the end discusses the future of space travel and what life might be like on other planets. One hopes that such charming advances actually come to pass!" —American Scientist "Both modern in its scientific spirit and with a sensibility modeled after the delightful mid-century children's books from the Golden Age of space exploration, it tickles young readers — as well as their space-enchanted parents — into precisely that palpable zest to make contact with the cosmos." —Brain Pickings "A hugely charming book packed with knowledge and humor to make learning about space fun." —Cool Hunting ‘Finally!

Newman's clean, modernist illustrations have a strong retro-futuristic bent that suggest the golden age of science fiction pulp magazines ,while Walliman provides lucid prose to help Professor Astro Cat explain topics such as the birth of stars, the speed of light, the solar system and the history of space exploration. [...] The book is a delight of design in its own right. [...] Children will want to make many return voyages with Professor Astro Cat, but so will the generations before them who still fondly look to the stars for inspiration." --Wink Books 'Finally!

Excellent seller -- good communication, item exactly as described, reasonably priced, well packed. Seller shipped immediately but the book took over half a month to arrive, due to the carrier used on the first leg, to get the package to USPS.
