The hilarious minds behind the award- winning A Day in the Life of a Poo, A Gnu and You and its sequel A Day in the Life of a Caveman, a Queen and Everything In Between have teamed up to take you on a colourful and comical tour through our galaxy and beyond.

Discover the poisonous clouds of Venus, the rings of Saturn and the raging storm on Jupiter. Venture inside nebulae, black holes, supernovas and far-flung galaxies. Find out about the historic figures who pioneered space travel, the animals who ventured to the stars so humans could follow and the ground-breaking technology that took them there.

Mike Barfield has been wild about science and animals from an early age. After a career in comedy writing, he turned to creating non-fiction for children built on his love of finding things out. He is the winner of the Blue Peter Children’s Book Award 2021 and has been nominated for several other prestigious prizes.
