Very colorful and informative
I show and read this book to my newborn. He enjoys the pictures, they are bright and big. Hope he will enjoy reading it as well when he’s older.

For young scientists
This title is full of facts and experiments that kids can do at home to learn more about the work of rocket scientists and the universe in which we live. For example, I learned why rocket ships are shaped as they are and how this helps with take off. I could then have launched a small “rocket” from home. Another entry has to do with what one might weigh on different planets. A few other subject headings include Landing on a Comet, Astronaut Training and Space Toilets.This is a good book for encouraging experimentation and curiosity for future scientists. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
