Bloomsbury Discovery: SPACE
This awesome hardback book invites you inside
with a promise that you can start your own space
discovery mission! Starting with a timeline to help
you understand the history behind exploring the
cosmos and space travel, there’s a look at inventions
such as the telescope and rockets. Every page has
flaps to lift which tease your curiosity, so that you
can actually go beyond planets in our solar system
and see into deep space. It is a different read
because if you wish you were in the International
Space Station, taking a peek behind the flaps to
zoom in and see what goes on there is a must!

Big Picture Mummy Maker
By Anna Claybourne
REVIEW BY TOBY WILSON, 6
What I liked was that the Egyptians
made mummies, even from animals as
well as dead people! The mummies had
bandages hanging down like they’re
ready to go into a fire. I really liked the
pyramids because they are just made out
of stones but they don’t look real when
they are real. There was a mummy that
really did look dead because it was rotten.
The bog mummy is either in a sea or on
an island and I loved the mummy made
for a dog and a cat!
