Rockets get drawn on everything, and your child wants to know how people really get to the moon. Any one of these satisfies it on its own. Pick by your child's age and mood: a bouncy blast-off rhyme for a little one, a real astronaut's mouse story, fact books about the planets, and the honest, grown-up history for an older child.
Any one of them satisfies a rocket-mad child, so choose by who's holding it. 'Roaring Rockets' is the easiest way in for the littlest fans, all countdown and blast-off. 'Mousetronaut' and 'Mae Among the Stars' add warm stories tied to real spaceflight. The National Geographic book is the first proper fact book about the planets. The older books carry the true stories: 'Hidden Figures' and 'Who Was Neil Armstrong?' for real people, and 'Rocket to the Moon!' for the honest, whole history. Start wherever your child is.
