Space: Hello Out There

Hello Out There is a clever and visually imaginative picture book which takes a whistle-stop tour of the solar system in search of life in outer space.Waterhouse, the Natural History Museum’s resident mouse, surveys the surface of the Moon and Mars and inspects passing asteroids and meteorites, looking for clues to the origins of life. Waterhouse peers through powerful new telescopes which illustrate the astonishing scale of the universe, and inspects the robotic rovers and probes designed to uncover the deep, dark depths of space.David Mackintosh’s distinctive illustrations, made with oil pencil, ink, kraftpaper and watercolour, make this the perfect book for all children who are curious about space, the solar system, aliens, and what makes life on Earth possible.
