With a recording of the story read by ESA astronaut Tim Peake, from the International Space Station! Start by cutting your paper plate into a big long spiral, making sure you leave enough room in the centre for your moon. The book was inspired by Tim Peake and his sons (and seriously, does anyone not love Tim Peake? What an amazing guy he is!) and this recording, made at the International Space Station, was the first bedtime story to be recorded in space.

My son actually loves me reading this to him; he gets rather excited flailing his legs about with glee.

Goodnight Spaceman is a delightful book that tells the story of two children, just like my sons, who dream of joining their dad on his adventures in space. I hope it may inspire a new generation of boys and girls to look up at the stars and not just ask questions but to go and seek answers of their own.

Print off the special sheet so that children can write a diary of their own imaginary adventures in space, which could be like the children in Goodnight Spaceman or something different! Make a space picture

I was excited to receive Goodnight Spaceman as it will be my son’s first book, okay so he is not 2 yet, he is only 4.5 months old but reading is such an important thing for me and I wanted to start reading to him very early on.This is the fourth instalment to the brilliant Goodnight... series, and is the perfect book for bedtime! As a little girl says goodnight to her dressing up clothes and dolls she is transformed into a princess in a magical realm. A beautiful rhyming text is accompanied by atmospheric illustrations which will delight and soothe all little girls as they snuggle up in bed.
