Name and Name's Space Adventure

Blast Off and Explore the Solar System!


Our two aspiring astronauts love stars and planets. They dream of visiting the sun and all the fascinating planets in the Solar System. One evening, they decide to build a spaceship and travel out into space.

Our little heros are very excited to meet all the planets, who are happy to see them too. They meet Mars with its red volcano and giant Jupiter with its stormy belly. They build a snowman on ice cold Saturn with its beautiful rings and fly quietly past bright, gassy Uranus.

On Neptune they are nearly caught in a storm, but can then relax on dwarf planet Pluto and enjoy the view of the magnificent Milky Way. Mercury is very happy for the spaceship’s visit, for it loves to play. Finally, beautiful Venus comes to the spaceship's aid and helps it back to Earth before it runs out of fuel!

The two children also fly past the sun, where they try and catch a sun beam they can take home as a souvenir.

The book is an imaginative story about being an astronaut and travelling through space, but it also shares interesting facts about the sun, the Solar System's fascinating planets and the giant universe.

The two children in the story can, for instance, be siblings, twins or friends aged 4 to 8.
