Bedtime Stories: The Space Exploration Collection

Time is precious and making the most of your time with the kids is so important these days. Between school, work and everything in-between, it can sometimes feel like a uphill battle to set aside just a couple of hours of quality family time.

So… with this in mind, we’ve developed a range of bedtime story blogs to coincide with our new range of themed children’s beds– this, our next blog in the series, will focus on the limitless stories of space exploration.

This really is the bed that every little boy or girl dreams about having and you can rest assured that your little space hoppers will get a good nights sleep floating amongst the stars.

Roaring Rockets by Tony Mitton

Recommended Age 0-2 Years

Roaring Rockets tells the tale of three brave astronauts who are on a journey to the moon. The delightful animal astronauts have a wonderful time on their space rocket whilst guiding the audience through the stars and onto the moon. The illustrations are large and fun with simple text to read to your little ones. The Animals characters are sure to appeal to a younger audience and this easy to follow story will introduce small children to the concept of the earth and the moon.

Aliens Love Underpants! by Claire Freedman

Recommended Age 3-4 Years

“Aliens love underpants, in every shape and size, But there are no underpants in space, so here’s a big surprise…” In a hilarious twist on the usual Alien genre we discover that Aliens like to come down to earth and steal our underpants! Aliens Love Underpants is a wonderful rhyming bonanza featuring vibrant illustrations and a zany story line which is sure to appeal to children and grow-ups alike. The use of bright colours and clever text helps to introduce small children to the concept of quirky Aliens. We love the great use of imagination within this story and it’s easy to see why Aliens Love Underpants! is such a hit with readers.

Recommended Age 5-8 Years

The Big Book of Stars & Planets is an informative introduction to our solar system for children. Featuring giant fold-out pages filled with large pictures and fun facts the Big Book of Stars & Planets is perfect for young space enthusiasts.

Topics such as the Universe, the Solar System and distant galaxies are all covered in this book and parents may even learn a thing or two about our solar system along the way.

The “Everything” Kids’ Astronomy Book by Kathi Wagner and Sheryl Racine

The “Everything” Kids’ Astronomy Book introduces older children to fun facts about the world of Astronomy with puzzles and guides to making fun things thrown in too! This really is a bumper to bumper book of all things space and will entice your space cadets into learning more about the universe.
