I purchased Roaring Rockets for my 5 year old son. He loves anything that has to do with rockets, space, or cute animals. This seems to fit the bill for all of the above. The book is very nicely printed with simple characters and drawings. The story is actually pretty accurate and is an easy 5 minute book before bedtime. My son has really enjoyed this one. We've read it several times now.
Just got this fron Scholastic Books for our three-year old. The colorful illustrations are fun and prompt him to ask lots of questions about space travel. "Why is that thing flying off the end of the rocket?" "Why is that guy floating?" "Why are they in the water?" Yesterday we created a space suit for him, today we made a rocket. Who knows...tomorrow, the moon?Warning for parents: the text rhymes and is pretty hokey: "Rockets take astronauts out to a place/that's strange and wonderful: silent space..."
This book is cute for a 2-3 year old. It's a little annoying to read, but my son really liked it for awhile when he was about 2.5 when he really got interested in rockets. It kind of bugs me, though, that "gravity boots" is listed as an actual part of astronauts' gear. I know the book is for little kids, but I would rather not teach him something that is wrong. It's still a cute book, though, and we get around it by telling him that gravity boots are just pretend.
Cute story, bought it for 5 year old into space stuff. Tells how they go to space, what happens, what they need a where, how they get there . I do think needs to start taking photos of inside pages of books, because it would help selling more and for ages.
My daughter couldn't afford to buy my grand kids books and they love reading. I am not able to do a lot of "extra spending" either but want the children to love books like I do and have the opportunity to have some. I was so glad to find these and at such a wonderful price. I was able to get the kids each several books of their own and they were so glad to get them to! Go Nanny!!! I will be buying some more for them too!!
He has the words memorized and loves the pictures and detailed explanation of the rocket parts in the back. He loves anything to do with rockets and astronauts.
I purchased this book along with another toy for my 3-year-old nephews birthday. Although paperback, the book is well made and the story very cute! He loves being read to so I was thankful that these gifts paired together so well! If you're looking for a wonderful present combo for a little boy or girl who loves space/rockets, look no further!

My 4 year old loves all of the Amazing Machines books. Great books with cute stories and lots of information. The last page, which is a vocabulary of working parts, is one of his favorite things about these books.
