5.0 out of 5 stars Hours of Enjoyment for Young Rocket Enthusiasts

J. · May 7, 2023

We had the train version of this book when my son was obsessed with trains, so when he showed an interest in rockets and spacecraft I immediately ordered this book.That was 2 months ago. My 6 year old regularly turns to this book as a "reference" when he wants to learn more about a space craft. Sometimes we read together, sometimes he flips through on his own. He uses it everyday as a reference guide for drawing his own rockets, as well as learning about the parts to design his own lego space craft. He's learned so much, and I feel like there is always something new for him to discover every time we open this book.It's not light reading. It's not dumbed down. Not a single fact is skimmed over. It might be a little advanced for the casual young rocket fan or for a child with a new interest in space.But if you have a child highly focused on rockets and who lives diagrams and hard facts, this book is AMAZING. So far every book in this series that we have bought has been perfect for our science obsessed future engineer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book, great price

It is an older kids' discussion of space exploration and travel. Not for pre-3d grade, though. Somewhat detailed . Beautifully illustrated. Lots of fun to read to and with your kids and grandkids.

Excellent book!
