Linda is an astronaut. Her fourth mission involves repairing a telescope in outer space. Combining color photos and illustrations with a simple vocabulary makes this another winner in the DK Eyewitness Reader series. It can be easily accessed by those starting to read on their own. Fact boxes are scattered throughout the book and interesting space facts are on a separate page. The details of an astronaut's training and work are woven into a story which will hold the attention of almost any reader.

I read a couple of these types of books to my 4 year-old son every night. This one was a little bit longer of a read than the others at this level but was very interesting and entertaining to him still. The books he enjoys the most are usually the Star Wars or Superhero Squad types, he hasn't been too interested at all in the other "real" topics. As I read it to him I threw in a little bit extra about the space shuttle and he asked questions about different things. This was a very educational book for him, which was a huge bonus because it was also one of the books he has been most interested in.

We found this perfect book to go with a lego reader book space adventure and of course a set of legos with a similar space exploration theme. Our nephew loved the gift for Christmas!
