Thanks Abi, that looks interesting. Wonder if my nephew would enjoy it? I'll download it for him and see. (he is a geeky 8 year old)

This is a great publication! It's just around 380MB and over 70 pages. Thanks for the great find!

Here's the iBooks Store link directly, for some reason the link above said the item was not found - its quite possible its the UK iBooks Store, nevertheless, here is the US iBooks Store link:

Happy reading,

Thank Stavy, I don't see why an eight year old wouldn't enjoy this book, it proves to be an excellent read. My advice is you should read through it yourself, so when he starts asking questions, you'll have all the answers
I thoroughly recommend this free download. There are also other Open University interactive science eBooks in this series.

Nice book great pics - had to change my avatar to keep consistent

It is a really good ebook, and free! It has videos of the astronauts on the Moon as well.
