Cosmo Park (Library Edition) - by Madeleine Finlay (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The Universal Nature Park is a place of wonder and scientific adventure, but watch out - there are mysterious and nefarious plots afoot, and it's not all fun and learning when the Universe is at stake...

Hop on a hover-buggy to the centre of the Milky Way and catch a ride around the Universal Nature Park to learn some amazing facts about our galactic neighbourhood. Maybe you'll spot some tricksy black holes trying to escape their enclosure, or perhaps you'll get caught in a meteorite storm (don't forget your comet-repellent umbrella!), and make sure you wrap up warm for the freezing end of the Universe!

This colourful comic informs and explains some of the key tenets of cosmology in an engaging and accessible way, following a narrative and packing in fascinating facts and concepts along the way. Kids will emerge from this world with new-found knowledge about the nature of our Universe, and a thirst to learn and explore on their own.
