"Fun with Outer Space is a super cool science activity book that's bursting with fun facts. Emily Greenhalgh does a stellar job putting space science into understandable bits we can all understand: for example, comparing the size of Earth's atmosphere to the skin of an apple (if Earth were an apple) to put things in perspective. Most of all though, I love the diversity of people represented in the book! It’s a great reminder that science is for everyone." –MacSorley, author of Super Cool Scientists

Truly worth a read for anyone with curious little minds in their children!” –Charli Kerns, PhD, researcher, Knox County SchoolsEmily Greenhalgh is the author of Fun with Oceans and Seas and an award-winning science journalist whose work has been featured in USA Today, the Boston Globe, Gizmodo, the World Meteorological Organization, and science textbooks.
