|title=Little People, Big Dreams: Agatha Christie
|rating=4
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction

|rating=3.5
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=Space is a cold and desolate place, but learning about it does not need to be. Nothing else quite captures the immensity that is Space – all the stars and planets out there that could contain alien life. How can you capture this majesty and put it onto a page so that you inspire the youth of today to be the astronauts and astronomers of tomorrow? A series of dry fact is perhaps not the best option, unless they happen to be a very specific type of child.
