Space Station

Reach for this book when your toddler is in a high energy, tactile mood and needs a story that feels as much like a toy as a literary experience. It is perfect for children who are beginning to show interest in 'big kid' machines and the mystery of the stars but still need the comfort of familiar characters like friendly dogs. The story follows a crew of three adventurous dogs and a robot as they navigate a space station, handle a meteor shower, and travel to a distant planet. It introduces early STEM concepts like gravity and space travel through rhythmic, rhyming text that is easy for young ears to follow. Parents will appreciate how the physical, die-cut shape of the book encourages independent play and exploration while the whimsical illustrations provide a gentle, non-threatening introduction to the vastness of the universe.
