Buy from Bookshop.orgJakob has found the long-lost SPACE TRAIN! But it’s old, battered and broken. With the help of Granny and Derek the robot chicken, can Jakob fix the train?
A stunning intergalactic adventure, packed with fun lift the flaps and out-of-this world illustrations from the talented Karl James Mountford (The Curious Case of the Missing Mammoth, Last Stop on the Reindeer Express)!
"A soaring, inventive lift the flap adventure"
"This is a wonderful space adventure, with superbly intricate illustrations by Karl James Mountford... It's highly imaginative and a bit different (in the very best way) and I really enjoyed it and I know space-mad children will too."
"Little ones will love joining Jakob on his space voyage beyond the peek-through pages and hidden flaps. Powell-Tuck imbues her tale with the spirit of fun and adventure, a big helping of imagination and plenty of giggles while Mountford's rich and intricately detailed illustrations invite us to step through the book's cut-out cover and into a thrill-packed ride."
"I love the retro feel to the glorious illustrations accompanying this intergalactic space adventure. There are also peep-through holes and plenty of flaps to explore as you're reading."
"With stunning illustrations from Karl James Mountford and lift the flaps hiding space creatures, this is a fun book to read and share. This is such a creative book and I enjoyed lifting the flaps, reading the logs and blasting away with Jakob and Granny."
