These fact-filled journeys travel through time and space teaching children all about five fascinating topics: Dinosaur Times, The Animal Kingdom, Outer Space, Amazing Vehicles and Deep Sea Dive. These audiobooks help children learn about their environment on journey of discovery with the narrators Ben Bailey Smith (aka Doc Brown, rapper, comedian and writer) and Sophie Aldred (best known for her role as Ace in Doctor Who). These audiobooks are aimed at children aged 4+, for family listening and learning and development for young minds. 'A lovely story of space exploration with factually correct but yet simple and approachable explanations of the different Solar System bodies, and even covering complex ideas such as the Big Bang, light speed, and planetary orbits. The balance of science and entertainment in the audiobook is just right, offering an ideal introduction to space science, with enthusiastic narration from Ben Bailey Smith and his 'astro-bird' companion'. - Dr Natasha Vasiliki Almeida, Curator of Meteorites at the Natural History Museum
