[.ca] Roaring Rockets (ISBN 0753453053)

Roaring Rockets:
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.

Roaring Rockets is a hit with our three year old:
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.

Big, Fun Illustrations:
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..."
