Do you have what it takes to be an astronaut? Blast off in this fun
nonfiction picture book by the author of Pop! The Invention of Bubble
Gum to find out!
With an appealing text and funny, brightly colored illustrations, Meghan
McCarthy transports aspiring space travelers to astronaut school in her
young nonfiction picture book. Take a ride on the "Vomit Comet" and
learn how it feels to be weightless. Try a bite of astronaut food, such
as delicious freeze-dried ice cream. Have your measurements taken--100
of your hand alone--for your very own space suit. Get ready for liftoff!
"McCarthy introduces the paraphernalia of rocket travel with a
corollary, direct humor that understands and respects its audience."
