Book Reviews of I Want to Be an Astronaut
Book Review: I Want to Be an Astronaut
Summary: 1 Stars
Not what I expected at all. The pictures are awful and the story itself takes me back to "See Spot Run". I was embarassed to give it to my 4 year old nephew who has just showed quite an interest in outer space.
Summary of I Want to Be an Astronaut
Blast-off!Up into the shy goes the space shuttle.Into orbit, the astronauts get a taste of ready-to-eat food, experience zero gravity, go for space walks, and even fix a satellite.It's fun to fly aboard the shuttle...and then come back to earth.'A young girl declares her longing to 'fly on the shuttle into outer space.'The familiar acts of eating, sleeping, and working become intense and special as she and the rest of the crew go about their business.The illustrations positively glow in this simple, lyrical picture book that will have nearly everyone off and flying.' -SLJ.
