What do our readers think of You Choose In Space? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the bright pictures, funny choices and the chance to make a different space adventure each time. A few children find the pages busy or wish the book had a longer storyline.

What does the Pageticker team say about You Choose In Space?

We love the way this colourful, interactive picture book puts children in charge, inviting them to choose everything from their space role and outfit to their alien friends and lunch. Its bright, detailed illustrations offer plenty to spot and discuss, while the open-ended format encourages imagination, language development and repeat readings. It works especially well as a shared book for young children, although some, especially those more prone to deliberating, may find the busy pages a little overwhelming.
