Review: Roaring Rockets

Roaring Rockets
Written by Tony Mitton
Illustrated by Ant Parker

Publication Date: 2010
Publisher: Macmillan Children’s Books
ISBN: 978-0-330-52048-5

Summary/Back cover:
Rockets have power.
They rise and roar.
This rocket’s waiting,
ready to soar.
Zoom to the moon with a crazy crew of astronauts in this sparkling picture book. Zippy wordplay, zappy art, plus a picture dictionary make learning about space travel fun!

This is yet another book from the Amazing Machines series. We also have: Dazzling Diggers; Amazing Aeroplanes; Flashing Fire Engines; and, Terrific Trains. I’m pretty confident that my boys will ensure that we add Brilliant Boats; Tough Trucks; and Tremendous Tractors to our collection, as money permits.

I find the rhyming sentences in this book a little clunky, at times. But, my kids love the words and love the pictures and just generally can’t get enough of this book – and they’re the real critics here, aren’t they?

My rating: 4 out of 5
