See Inside Space Stations and Other Spacecraft

Rosie Dickins grew up in England and Hong Kong. An avid reader, she always loved dreaming up her own stories. After studying literature at Oxford University, art in Paris and plenty of travelling, she settled in London, where she works for Usborne Publishing. She has written over a hundred children's books, from award-winning information books to fiction.

My little boy aged 6 was over the moon to open up his envelope and find a book about Space. We loved opening all the flaps and absorbing all the factual information inside. It is so in depth and beautifully illustrated but done in a fun and engaging way to capture a child's imagination. This has become a firm bedtime read and has led to many other questions. We love the flaps, illustrations and facts used inside this book.
