Description
Description
Jupiter loves his gassy surface -- if only every body felt the same way! Moons Io and Ganymede are in for some aromatic surprises as they agree to take a whiff of the Solar System's Gassiest Giant. But can two rocky moons who don't know the joys of a gassy surface learn to appreciate the pungent chemistry of their ginormous host planet?
Take a deep dive into the scents of Jupiter with this funny children's picture book based on actual scientific discoveries about the chemistry of Jupiter!
Rotting garbage?! Bitter almonds?! These are just a few of the odors scientists have connected to the gases found on planet Jupiter. Children ages 5-10 will laugh out loud as Jupiter dares his moons Io and Ganymede to take a whiff of his ginormous gassy swirls.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"I love finding science books that are written for children. In this case the author, K.J. Field, has written a delightful science book on the planet Jupiter. Geared toward the young child, it will most certainly generate an interest in astronomy. Using the very creative theme of "space smells" we are introduced to Jupiter and its moons. The 40-page book is done in a comic book style with each page being fully illustrated. It would be a fun storytime book when read to a small group. I loved how each page has a funny situation between Jupiter and another entity in space."

"This book is a hoot! It presents astronomy in a hilarious and accessible way, perfect for the little astronomer. My little guy really enjoyed this book and was really engaged both with the story and the pictures." - JennT, Booksprout reviewer
"This was a really funny book, whilst still being educational (edutainment of the best kind!) The pages are full of pictures where Jupiter is explaining about itself to its two (irreverent) moons (Ganymede and Io). Lots of information is imparted in a fun and accessible way. It was definitely a hit with my son." - Ellem, Booksprout reviewer
