I Want to Be an Astronaut Review
This book is great for kids who want to learn about space or astronauts. The book is short and awesome for kids who have a short attention span!
I Want to Be an Astronaut Overview
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.

I Want to Be an Astronaut - M. Rinaldo - PA
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.

My grandson, the six-year-old future astronaut, loved this book he could read himself. Good pictures and simple words.
