"With over 60 flaps to lift, this delightful book answers questions such as “Where have people visited in space?”, “What’s a cosmonaut?”, “Why can’t I see stars in daytime?” and lots more what, where, how, why, and yes or no questions with answers beneath the flaps. Internet links take children to carefully selected websites to find out more." source

It's worthwhile seeing what's in the book on Youtube.  The female american narrator may sound as if she's talking to a child but no matter. The content is what we're after.  Look now.

            

First question.Yes.  

"Since 2000, there have always been two people living at the International Space Station."

A worthwhile aspect of "lift the flap" is revision. Two or more children can point and ask the others "What's the answer?" etc.  Parents can keep subtle records and use them as appropriate.  Enjoy sessions when you and your children ask each other "What's under this flap?
