Space Stories for Kids

Kids who love rockets and planets will find their crew here. Most of these stories follow the Space Divers: Captain Zog, who is very sure of himself and quite often wrong, Bloop, who can make sense of any sound or signal in the universe, and Gloob, who can sniff out a smell from far across space. Their Earth friend Milo comes along on the Starship Whiffle, and so, once, does his dog Pickles.

The planets are the fun part. One laughs whenever you walk on it, one makes no sound at all, one is covered in floating lights, and on the Planet of Blorp everyone eats with their feet. The stories are silly first, but each one has something small inside it: owning up to a mistake, being brave somewhere new, or trying things the way someone else does them.

For a quieter night, Luna and the Night of the Missing Stars has the Dream Guardians finding out why the stars are vanishing from the sky, and it ends calm enough for bedtime. Want more big journeys? Browse all our adventure stories.
