The idea that alien life exists has gripped writers, artists,
thinker, and scientists throughout history. This book explores many
of the critical parts of astrobiology from theories about
exoplanets and the formation of solar systems to places like the
Lowell Observatory and Roswell and people like H. G. Wells and Carl
Sagan. Astrobiology, or the search for aliens, has never been so
accessible as in this text. With full-colour artwork and accessible
main text and fact boxes, readers enjoy indulging in alien theories
while also learning about science and history.

Science is all about being super serious, right? Wrong! Science can
be sillier than you ever thought, especially when space is
involved!
Evie and her pet dog, Juno, use their senses to explore the planets
in this bright, layered board book which teaches kids all about the
solar system! In this charming and innovative layered board book,
Evie and her pet dog Juno visit all the planets, one by one, and
tell readers what they found there. Watch them skateboard on bumpy
Mercury, do a spot of hoovering on dusty Mars and hula-hoop round
Saturn! Humorous text and bold, quirky illustrations introduce each
of the eight colourful planets. Curved and layered board pages
increase in size as you move through the book, developing a child's
hand-eye coordination as they turn the pages. The final spread
shows all of the planets together in order from the sun. Quirky
facts coupled with engaging artwork boost pre-schoolers'
imagination and spark an interest in the world around them. This
bright, layered board book provides a great first introduction to
the solar system. This book is from the Adventures of Evie and Juno
series, which sees our two intrepid explorers travel to different
places and environments in innovative layered board books which
will help young readers develop hand-eye coordination and teaching
them about the world. Also available is Explore Under the Sea,
which sees Evie and Juno travel from the beaches to the bottom of
the ocean, as they share with readers what they find!

land on alien planets, peer into the universe's past, and go where
no one (except a handful of rovers and space probes) has gone
before! We live in a complicated cosmos, but this book breaks down
the complex, the confusing, and the downright kooky to reveal the
fascinating details and hidden wonders that are out of this world.
