Space Riddles

“Space Riddles,” made for kids ages 7 to 10, gathers a series of short riddles dressed up as young astronaut challenges: put the planets of the solar system in order, crack a space communication code, match a constellation to its shape, and plot a simple course between two stars. Each riddle reads like a small one-page challenge, with a clear question and everything a kid needs to solve it without any outside help. There is nothing to hide and nowhere to run around: it is just a notebook a child can solve alone, with family, or in a friendly challenge. The riddles climb gently in difficulty, from a very simple first clue to the final riddle that combines several clues to locate a mystery planet. The answers are gathered at the back, with the reasoning explained step by step so kids understand an answer instead of just being handed it. This notebook works as well for a quiet moment after school as for a vacation activity, and with so many independent riddles it holds up to repeat play, one riddle at a time in any order. A Junior Astronaut Certificate is included at the end, once every riddle is solved.
