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..."

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.

our 2 1/2 year old son is realy enjoying the whole "amazing machines" series. i like them too. they are fun, and the rhymes are clever.

Using simple language and cute rhymes, this book gives an wonderful and accurate description of an Apollo moon mission. My 3 year old loves it.

Great book to add into the night reading routine. I like to read a few books each night and this one is a perfect short read. Great rhymes and simple illustrations- my son enjoys this book very much.

My 4 year old received this for Christmas this year and loves it. He is starting to read and is able to correctly identify many words in this book. He also likes that it rhymes so he is able to figure out some of the harder words. He is very interested in space so this is a great book for him!

This item was excellent, there were no bends or any pages wrinkled when the package arrived. I am very happy with this purchase.

Bought this in the museum store, because I liked the illustrations. My children like it too, but it's not one of their top favorites...the text isn't as good as the pictures, but it's fun enough!

Bought the book for my grandchildren. They seemed to like it. Dad works at an airport, so they are interested in anything connected.
