Rocket Science: A BeginnerÆs Guide to th: A Beginner's Guide to the Fundamentals of Spaceflight

This book is all about space and rocket

Very Good paper quality with good looking and informative.Even liked too much by the kid, for who I had purchased.

Good product item.Thank you.

I like this .

Very good!

A great book for helping my son with his interest in space!

Description advises suitable fir a fourteen year old. This book is slightly more demanding than a six year olds picture book. A few simple sentences on each page and big cartoon illustrations. My twelve year old might scan it once, never to be looked at again. Save your money.

The colors and illustrations are beautiful. The book is very informative and if treated well, seems like it would last for years!

I preordered this book for my rocket crazy 7-year-old twins. It arrived today on Nov 3rd, the day of release.1) The description states that this book is for ages 10+ and that is accurate. It’s over the head of most seven or eight-year-olds.2) It's a much smaller, less informative book than the Ultimate Book of Space, which is priced the same and is the best rocket book for young children.3) Only 3 of the 30 sections are about how the entire rocket works, despite the title being ‘Rocket Science’. Lots of missed opportunities here. There could have been sections on designing a rocket, testing rocket prototypes, overcoming the problems, building the rocket, transporting a rocket, the rocket on the launchpad etc.4) The illustrations are simplistic. The text body is way more complex than the simplistic, generally non-explanatory illustrations. I really really really wish the illustrations were done in a way to describe and explain the concepts of what the text body was saying, like the Ultimate Book of Space does so beautifully. This way, this book could have served a wider age range. The more complex text body for kids age 10+ and Illustrations with arrows and attached short descriptive text for the younger readers. Having descriptive illustrations would also have made the text more interesting and understandable also. With the exception of a few sections such as the rocket engine section, the illustrations don’t help the child understand the text. They just seem like pictures to have pictures. Not a lot of thought seems to have been put in here.5) In sum I would give this book a C. It’s okay and meets the basic requirements, but doesn’t seem to have the extra thought and effort put in to help children understand rocket science by not only telling them but also SHOWING them through pictures how rockets work. It also doesn't seem to be the type of book a child will want to read again and again.
