Your Body In Space: Answers Every Kid Wants To Know

Of all the questions, kids always seem to ask about using the toilet in space. I know the Booper has asked me that question before among several other funny questions about astronauts. I don't know all the answers, so To Burp Or Not To Burp is the perfect book for explaining how your body works in space. Learn more about this fun title for kids below and enter for a chance to win a copy for your little explorer! 
About The Book
NASA astronaut Dr. Dave brings his first-hand experience with two flights on the Space Shuttle and three spacewalks on the International Space Station to the kind of “gross” questions that intrigue and amuse middle schoolers: How do astronauts use the bathroom? What happens when they pick their noses? What kind of underwear do they wear? Why is burping in space dangerous? How do they get water? (Answer: advanced systems treat and purify liquid waste, turning it into drinking water – bottoms up!). He also explains the science behind the strange physical phenomena astronauts experience, such as floating in midair, getting taller, and losing bone density (hint: it all has to do with microgravity).

By simplifying complex concepts with age-appropriate language and featuring actual photos of astronauts like Dr. Dave in space, quirky cartoon illustrations, fun fact sidebars, an index, and further reading suggestions – this jam-packed guide will keep young readers learning both in and out of the classroom, whether they’re aiming for the moon or studying the stars.
