  • Description
  • Details

Hang on tight for a raucous bounce through the solar system and back—propelled by funny, fanciful, factually sound poems and exuberant illustrations.

The universe poured into me.
My brain was overloaded.
It smoked and glowed red-hot.
And then
it actually exploded.

Ever wonder what the sun has to say about being the closest star to Earth? Or what Pluto has gotten up to since being demoted to a dwarf planet? Or where rocket ships go when they retire? Listen closely, because maybe, just maybe, your head will explode, too. With poetry that is equal parts accurate and entertaining—and illustrations that are positively out of this world—this book will enthral amateur stargazers and budding astrophysicists as it reveals many of the wonders our universe holds. Space travellers in search of more information will find notes about the poems, a glossary, and a list of resources at the end.
