  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 08/01/2016 Fascinating facts and glossy color photos combine in this attractive, level-2 beginning reader. Between a table of contents and concluding rocket quiz, glossary, and index, facts about rockets and spacecraft fill the pages. Space fanatics will be thrilled to learn about the anatomy of a rocket, famous space missions, and possible future missions. Short chapters feature large, easy-to-read text with ample white space on all sides. Some readers may need a bit of guidance with subject-specific words, such as parachute, billows, and international, though the glossary offers some help, as do pronunciation guides provided within the text for foreign or difficult-to-decipher names. Although repetition and visual context clues could be stronger, this title will be engaging and enticing for fact-loving kids. - Copyright 2016 Booklist. Loading...
