  I’m so glad that you enjoyed National Geographic Angry Birds Space! I had so much fun putting that book together with the good folks at Nat Geo and Rovio, and it’s fantastic to know that you liked the book. I think my favorite Astrofact was that winter lasts for 21 Earth Years on Uranus. There were so many, it’s hard to choose.
