Editorial Reviews

Review

Children's Literature
Informational books don't have to be boring, and this book is a good example of one that is well done...Children will delight in the word play as they join a trio of wacky animals as they blast off into space.


Product Description

Rockets have power. They rise and roar. This rocket's waiting, ready to soar. Rockets carry astronauts with cool, white suits oxygen helmets and gravity boots. Blast off with more out-of-this-world couplets! This time it is machines that fly. In bright and bold illustrations that are as witty as the text, the animal crew roars and whizzes into outer space.

4.0 out of 5 stars Roaring Rockets, June 6, 2000
By Neal Baker (Salt Lake City, Utah) - See all my reviews
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big, Fun Illustrations, November 10, 2000
By "fleajuice" (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews
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..."
