- Over 400 facts about space

Space is a deeply weird place. This book has 400+ pieces of evidence.
There’s a planet where it rains glass sideways at five thousand miles per hour. A moon with four hundred volcanoes erupting at once. A star so dense that one teaspoon of it would weigh a billion tons. And footprints on the Moon that will still be there in a million years, because there’s no wind up there to blow them away.
The Bonkers Book of Space Facts gives a curious kid’s questions somewhere to go: planets, moons, stars, black holes, rockets, and the corners of the universe nobody warns you about.
Plenty to get lost in
- Over 400 facts and big questions, packed five to a page across full-color comic-style pages built to be flipped through, stared at, and read out of order.
- Facts with actual punchlines, not just exclamation points.
- Straight answers to the big ones: what space smells like, why astronauts come home taller, what happens to you inside a black hole.
- Written for ages 6–12, with plenty for grown-ups to wonder at too.
For the kid who always looks up
Looking for a space book for a child who wants to know what’s really out there? This illustrated fact book puts their favorite subject at the center of reading and discovery.
Fair warning: you will hear all four hundred of these at dinner.
