Publisher's Synopsis

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.
