Young readers will be introduced to early space concepts such as atmosphere and G-Force while being introduced to Earth’s amazing natural wonders, all while being reminded that big dreams and a curious mind can lead to the most astonishing discoveries.

The Fly Who Flew Space is a picture book about a fly named Flynn, who through their curiosity about space and being an astronaut, ends up unintentionally going to space in a space shuttle. It is a sweet story about going for your dreams, even if they seem impossible. The illustrations are very cute and my kids enjoyed many silly moments (especially math using waste). This is a great story for early elementary aged students.
Thanks to The Collective Book Studio and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

I read this book with my daughter this afternoon and she loved it!
She has been a massive fan of space and all things related since a young age, and as with most children she wanted to be an astronaut and used to dress up as one so I guessed that this book would be a it with her, and it certainly was!
The illustrations were lovely and they worked really well with the story to bring it all together. As a parent the pages were great and I loved that some key landmarks were highlighted on the journey to Space too.
It was well written and easy to follow and laid out really well. The text was nice and clear and not clouded by the illustrations. It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!
