Niskopri, nilgħab u nifhem: L-Ispazju

Space shuttles, rockets ships, Buzz Lightyear – how many of these do you almost-trip –over the minute you step into your child’s room (unless there’s been an alien attack and they’ve taken over the whole house)?

Space, according to Star Trek, is The Final Frontier – that last mysterious barrier surrounding our tiny dot of a planet, which mankind still has to properly discover.

If your son or daughter is fascinated by this dark-but-sparkly vast expanse, then Merlin Publishers’ new book is perfect for them.

How does a star become a shooting star? Do astronauts feel cold when they’re out in space? Why do some stars form the shape of an animal in the night sky? The answers to these questions and more can be found in Niskopri, nilgħab u nifhem, L-Ispazju.

Aimed at children aged 6 to 8 years, this book is part of a new non-fiction series. It is not very texty, and the information comes to life with lots of colour visuals, ideal for reluctant readers. They come in padded hardback cases and quality art paper, which will withstand sticky fingers running over the pages over and over.

Fostering a passion for space in children will help build a love of learning in science, engineering, technology, mathematics – and let’s keep in mind that future discoveries about the final frontier are in the hands of today’s children!
