Space Adventure Activity Book

Space-obsessed readers will find plenty to explore in this workbook whose activities include matching games, mazes, connect-the-dot exercises, and extraterrestrial scenes to complete with drawings and stickers. Several projects require additional materials (and adult supervision), among them a space mobile craft, a recipe for “stellar cupcakes,” and a Martian mask. British illustrator Alliston’s cartoons feature an array of child astronauts, aliens, robots, and animals. While the focus is on entertainment and developing basic cognitive skills, readers will pick up space trivia and vocabulary words along the way. Ages 4–8. (Apr.)
