The Rookie Read-About(R) Science space books introduce the youngest readers to space and space travel. These books answer questions that fascinate young children: How do you take a shower on the space shuttle? How do you move around? What does it feel like to go hurtling into orbit during liftoff? Individual titles discuss the solar system, the moon, what astronauts do, how they are trained, sending spacecraft into orbit, and life on the space shuttle. All use simple text and full-color photographs to engage young readers. In Getting Ready for Space, readers learn how astronauts train to prepare their bodies for the lack of gravity in space.
