Ever wonder what the real story is behind all those stars and planets in the sky? Could there really be alien invaders? Follow Oddblob the alien on his out of this world tour and you'll be an expert on everything galactic in no time. Oddblob will tell you why you can't be in outer space without a space suit (you'll explode!), why you definitely don't want to stay in the Neutron Star Hotel, and why you'd better bring both your sunscreen and your mittens if you plan on visiting Mercury. You'll learn everything strange and wacky about the galaxy we call home. Nick Arnold's Horrible Science books are irresistible introductions to the world of science. Also check out other books in the series from Recorded Books, including Blood, Bones and Body Bits and Chemical Chaos.
