Sign in to write a reviewThis book can be read cold. The rhyming meter is very consistent, making it easy to read aloud without practice. A parent might reach for this after their child points at the moon for the first time or expresses a desire to 'go far away' or 'be big.' It is an answer to the child's first inklings of wanderlust.
For a 2-year-old, the experience is primarily about the colors, the 'zoom' of the rockets, and the recurring bunny characters. A 5-year-old will engage more with the vocabulary of space (planets, stars, rockets) and the concept of a journey with a beginning, middle, and end.
Unlike many space books that focus on cold facts or 'alien' encounters, this book uses the softest possible protagonists to domesticate the final frontier. It is a 'first space book' that prioritizes emotional security over technical science.
