Happy Book Birthday to NOVA THE STAR EATER!
In this picture book, Nova has a big appetite for stars, so when she decides to gobble up Earth’s Sun, panic erupts around the globe. Earth needs its Sun to survive! How will it get it back from Nova? One bright little girl has an off-the-wall idea that just might work. It’s laugh-out-loud space adventure full of gas…and heart.

This sounds fantastic! We love A Place for Pluto in our house for the same reasons specified here, great story and funny too; sounds like there’s another space story we need to add to our collection 🙂
I’m excited to read this book–it sounds like a fun way to learn about space and have an adventure too.
