April 2019 Book of the Month | A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month April 2019
Fifty years since the moon landing and a new generation want to know all about it! Written in letters from Charlie Tanner, an enquiring eight year old and his enthusiastic and easily excitable hound Jasper to a Rocket Scientist, Jasper Space Dog is a clever mix of fun and facts. Charlie and Jasper’s letters raise many of the questions that everyone wonders about such as Is the moon made of cheese? and Is there a man on the moon and does he have a dog? The Rocket Scientist’s simple answers give the true scientific details in an easily accessible form. There’s much to enjoy as well as much to learn from this introduction to an important topic.

Funny and interesting with lots of information about space!
This was all about a boy called Charlie Tanner, his dog Jasper, his parrot called Parrot and a space scientist called Isabella. Charlie writes letters to Isabella asking lots of questions about how things work in space and what happens there. I thought it was cool when Jasper went to space! The most interesting fact I learnt was that in space you are only allowed food that is in packets. This book was so funny, asking if astronauts ate hot dogs and if rockets bumped into the cow jumping over the moon, but it explained lots of interesting and useful things. I really enjoyed learning about space!... Read Full Review
