Horace is a boy pig who dreams of flying to space in a spaceship or a rocket. He loves his colorful dreams and adventures in space. One day, a man called and invited Horace to fly in space to the International Space Station (ISS). Horace was excited, and he started packing a suitcase. His favorite snacks were packed in an outside zipper case. Then Horace learned he could not take a suitcase or his favorite snacks. He was shown how to put on a space suit for his flight into space. The rocket lifted from the ground, flew Horace straight to the ISS, and then his spaceship docked. Horace had arrived! While at the ISS and in space, Horace learned about the space station, how to take a spacewalk, and he thought he had a floor he was walking on, but no! He was out in space, connected to a rope and floating away from the ISS! Children learn about Horace and his adventure in a space rocket, what he could eat and drink during his visit, and they have multiple opportunities to ask questions about the ISS. Horace also took pictures of planet Earth from space. Children learn about Horace being in a weightless environment and about gravity. Learning about the ISS in a fun illustrated book keeps children entertained. Horace teaches children how he got back to Earth and his big splashdown! Children learn about nature, space, Earth, and the ISS. Children gain a greater understanding of pigs and what they like to eat. The concept and principles of flying to the ISS are taught with young children in mind and through colorful illustrations to keep children engrossed in the story.
Children learn about being in a weightless environment and about gravity. Learning about the ISS in a fun illustrated book keeps children entertained. Children learn about nature, space, Earth, and the ISS.
