Space Monkey (Kids)
Space Monkey is the fictional alter ego of the plucky little ape that NASA sent into orbit before anyone else dared go. J. Otto Seibold and Vivian Walsh have created some superb Space Monkey picture book illustrations around their character and added some little lessons about travelling in space. Click on the planets and odd little facts appear. There are also some quirky accounts of other animals who've been launched 'out there', but the real stars are the pictures which make you want to buy the books. See also the front covers of Mr Lunch Takes a Plane Ride and Mr Lunch Borrows a Canoe.
