I thought this was a very nice book, with lots of facts, details and bright photos. I bought it for my 3 year old nephew, knowing he was not ready for all the factual aspects but would love the illustrations. He opened it on Christmas morning, and according to his mother, did not open another present but spent the rest of the morning pouring over this book. He loves books and is especially into rockets. I recommend this book for anyone who likes rockets and wants to read more about them.
I now have the entire series of Paul Collicut books, this was a pleasant surprise, the 6th book in the series which proves to be very entertaining and very muuch enjoyed by my [...] He can read the whole book alone! Big beautiful graphic pictures enhance the enjoymnet of reading this book! Enjoy!!
This book is a fabulous treat for any 2-4 year old rocker lover. The pictures are wonderful, bright and attention grabbing. The one fact per page is good, though at three, 2-3 facts facts would have worked as well for him. The more detailed information inside the front and back covers has led to some interesting conversations. And he loves seeing pictures of the space shuttle inside.
My friend gave us This Rocket from a library sale. He memorized the books when he was 3 and I searched to find the rest of the collection. They are good at teaching kids different adjectives and very simple. He's 4 now and "reads" it to his 9 month brother. Priceless!
If you and your child love rockets well this is well illustrated and a cool briefly worded book
