I recently watched the movie, which I enjoyed for its charm, so when I saw the book at my local library, I picked it up. If your kid is a fan of the movie, then get them this book. You can also be a kid at heart to enjoy the movie and the book. I certainly did. The book is a nice hardback with 63 pages. It features great photos and illustrations throughout. The book also offers a section on how the movie was made, something I always find interesting. By the way, Benny the 1980s astronaut takes me back to my childhood when I had a few of those space sets, including one or two with a blue astronaut. Overall, this is a cute and easy book you can read with your child, or let them read it on their own, or you can read it yourself.

4 out of 5 stars.
