rockets, and astronauts that I was not aware of. Children will have fun reading this book, they can then brag about their new found knowledge to friends, teachers, and parents.

As a future elementary school teacher I am going to have to teach science. Science can be fun and books like these prove it. This is an educational book I want in my school and home library. My seven year old couldn’t get enough of it, the questions about the astronauts seemed to interest him the most. I am looking forward to the day my two year old is old enough to read this books and others like it. These question answer books are great for parents who want their children to learn valuable information outside of school.

I will read this book to my students prior to a field trip to the planetarium. Once back from the planetarium the children will have to pick an object associated with space and do research on that object using this book and others like it. They would have to write three facts about the object, this could be used to go along with a project such as a diorama or poster. I would also send a note home asking parents to take their children outside to look at the stars and have their children tell them the new facts they have learned about space while looking at the moon and stars.
