About this book

Take a fantastic journey into space: one where YOU make all the decisions about your adventure.

From choosing a role on board the spaceship to picking out space clothes, this book puts the child in charge. Simple rhyming questions and speech bubbles on each supersize page, plus a visual feast of ideas and inspiration, guide each child on their journey. This ingeniously enables the same book to create different stories on every reading.

You can visit Planet Pick-and-Mix with its pink lakes and blue trees; select an outlandish outfit, complete with fabulous footwear and wacky wigs; feast on curious cuisine, such as stardust crisps and rainbow jelly; or make weird and wonderful new alien friends. 

This lively picture book teems with Nick Sharratt’s characteristically vibrant illustrations. They are as inclusive as it gets, with a wheelchair-using protagonist and his friend encouraging every child to ignite and explore their imaginations and creative storytelling. Not to be missed!
