Is There Anybody Out There?

 

Explore the furthest reaches of space on a hunt for alien life in this fascinating new science book from Dara Ó Briain. 

Is There Anybody Out There? is full of science facts (and the occasional reference to science fiction) about the chances of finding life in space, and the scientists who are helping us search for it. 

Ó Briain's voice is strong and recognisable, and this book is packed with jokes, making it a lot of fun to read aloud. My daughter has laughed, gasped and asked endless questions throughout. 

Luan Valentine's illustrations make this book a visual treat, offering readers everything from water sports on Titan to naked aliens eating pizza (now there's a sentence I never expected to write...) The comic strip at the end of each chapter adds another element of humour and fun, and helped my daughter to visualise her own dreams of travelling into space. 

Is There Anybody Out There? would make a perfect Christmas present for children interested in science and space, or a great addition to a primary school library. 

Thank you Scholastic for sending me a copy to review. 

Is There Anybody Out There? is written by Dara  Ó Briain and illustrated by Luna Valentine.
