Isabel Thomas

illustrated by Nikalas Catlow

Warning: this book will self-destruct! Packed full of fun and exciting science-based projects which use its pages in different ways, this book will have you tearing, folding, cutting, experimenting, and scribbling as you find out all about the wonders of outer space.

As each page is destroyed, you'll make everything from a Martian bug to a pocket rocket, using nothing more than the pages of the book and a few simple household items. The easy-to-follow instructions and amazing illustrations make science and learning more fun than ever!
