I liked the rhyming text and the fact that this is an information book, but made easy to read. I love learning about space and recommend reading this book if you do too, but it only gives basic information and nothing too in depth, so is best for younger children really.

I like it but it is not the book I was expecting that was not the nice but there were two pages that I liked. But those were these “Once upon a rocket a countdown has begun from 10,9,8 to 7 and 6 to 5, 4, 3, 2 , 1,” and “Yet still, to fly was our great aim... with kites balloons and gliders plants.

I love this book. It told me all about space. I have been learning lots about the moon and Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins with mummy. And about Laika dog and Sputnik and the first people in space.

I liked how the rockets blast off into space. I liked finding out the first time we went to space and how cats were sent to space. I would recommend others to read this book.
