Ik vond het een geweldig goede toevoeging tot alle andere boeken over de ruimte en ruimtevaart die wij tot nu toe gelezen hebben.

Got this for my child from the library but it's so full of interesting facts I didn't know written in such an easy-to-understand way that I got hooked on it myself and read it all the way through.
