Review by Nick 

This is one of Thomas (6yrs) and Annabel (4yrs) favourite books. What do they like about it the most - well dad "its because its a space elephant of course!". The drawings are amazing and the themes taught are all part of what a child hood should be all about -  *** being yourself and following your dreams ***.

About this book

Stella wants to be an astronaut. There is only one problem- Stella is an elephant. Every time she applies to Space Command, they come with a new reason she can't join. But where there's a will, there's a way and Stella is determined to reach for the stars.
