And why are these clams so eager to swap planets? - Features full-color illustrations and an out-of-this-world book jacket- A can’t-put-it-down page-turner for reluctant readers- Complete with how-to-draw pages in the back AstroNuts Mission Two is full of laugh-out loud humor with a thoughtful commentary on the reality of climate change at the core of the story.
