This audiobook of over 200 space facts is set up as a four-round quiz—have one epic quiz night, or dip in and out of the audiobook together to learn about things such as: What did Neil Armstrong leave on the moon as a symbol of peace? What is an exoplanet? How many moons does Jupiter have? Who is the youngest person who has been to space? This quiz was designed with my super bright five-year-old, but it is equally challenging for children of all ages as well as adults. This is truly a quiz where a seven-year-old can win against an 80-year-old!
