This is an excellent book for a 3+ year old child. My grandson loved it. I had to read this book to him (he asked for it by name) every night for a week; sometimes he asked that I read it to him two times in a row.

He now knows what a Lunar Lander is and he knows there is no gravity in space.

I highly recommend this book.

My 2 yr. old is enjoying this book as a companion to the play rocket he got for Christmas. The illustrations are perfect for his age and the rhyming, accurate text is entertaining. Winner!

We added another Amazing Machines book to our collection. These are fantastic books that our boys have always loved.

My son loves the animals on the rocket as much as he loves reading about the rocket. It's short and sweet and introduces him to some new space travel concepts (like wearing oxygen).

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.

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.

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.

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.
