Peek Inside How a Rocket Works

Peep Inside

by Lara Bryan, Caroline Attia (Illustrator)

Peek inside a rocket to see the fuel going in, then help launch it into space. Ingenious flaps show how parts drop away from the rocket as the fuel is used up, and how it clicks into the docking position when it reaches the International Space Station. Curious young children can open flaps to peek right inside the capsule, Mission Control and the ISS to find out how everything works, and then open a parachute to help the astronauts return to Earth.

About the author

Lara has loved books since the days of being read bedtime stories by her Irish dad and French mum. At school she set up a secondhand bookshop called Books Change Lives, and went on to study English and Italian at Oxford University. After teaching in Italy and Myanmar, she got her dream job as a writer for Usborne Publishing. From explaining how economics works, to inventing boredom-busting activities, to telling a good dragon yarn, she's enjoyed every minute of the job.

[Erin Kemppainen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think my nephew is a little too young to care how anything other than the flip flaps of a book work.
