Why read it?

1 author picked The Cosmic Diary of our Incredible Universe as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Tim Peake is a bit of a hero of mine. He’s a British astronaut who’s spent time on the International Space Station.

More than that, he’s a great communicator – especially with kids – and his boundless enthusiasm for the adventure of space exploration is infectious.

I learned a lot from this book.
